Alcohol and asentra Hello. Soon New Year's Eve and I'm going to go to a party, for a week I've been taking asentre 50mg (half a tablet once a day) and I would like to drink with everyone on New Year's Eve, party a little. Shouldn't I take a pill on this day? How does it work?dd

Do not skip a dose of Asentra for alcohol consumption, because the active substance sertraline lasts longer than 24 hours in the body. Subsequent doses that we take serve to maintain this concentration and, as a result, the occurrence of a therapeutic effect. Moreover, abrupt discontinuation of the drug may cause the appearance of withdrawal symptoms (anxiety, insomnia, sweating). During the studies, it was found that in healthy people sertraline at a dose of 200 mg did not increase its effect. Despite this, during the therapy of the preparation it is not recommended to consume alcohol, because the reaction of each organism may be different. If you need to consume alcohol on this night, take the tablet in the morning and take a small amount of alcohol in the evening (a glass of champagne or wine). Consumption in large amounts of alcohol can cause poisoning or faster alcohol intoxication.
