Good evening. I'm at the end of taking mesopral 20 and I have 5 tablets left. I took the pill as usual in the morning on an empty stomach. Can I have a drink tonight? Because from what the gastroenterologist told me, this drug does not interact with alcohol. Of course, I don't want to drink a lot, but that's for my mood. Thank you

You should always limit your alcohol intake if you are taking medication. Alcohol can affect the digestive tract and increase the production of stomach acid, which can interfere with medications. In addition, alcohol can irritate the lining of the stomach and duodenum, which increases the risk of irritation or damage to these areas, especially in people with excessive stomach acidity.
Mesopral is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) drug used mainly to treat diseases associated with excessive stomach acid production, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, gastric or duodenal ulcers. The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to book the medicine at a selected stationary pharmacy and collect it after presenting a prescription:
