What to do if you eat cephalosporin and drink rice wine, what to do if you eat cephalosporin and dri

Many other commonly used drugs, such as cephalosporin, can also inhibit alcohol metabolism, and drinking alcohol after taking these drugs can cause similar uncomfortable symptoms, which we call a "disulfiram-like reaction".

Drugs that cause disulfiram-like reactions.

1.Cephalosporins. Cephalosporins are the most common drugs that cause disulfiram-like reactions.

Some cephalosporin molecules contain methiotetrazolium groups, which are structurally similar to disulfiram and can cause similar effects, such as cefoperazone, cefmetazole, cephalexin, cefaclor, etc. However, disulfiram-like reactions have been reported in some cephalosporins that do not contain the methiotetrazolium group, so alcohol exposure should be avoided during cephalosporins.

2.Nitroimidazoles. Including metronidazole, tinidazole, etc., can inhibit ethanol metabolism and lead to acetaldehyde accumulation.

3.Hypoglycemic drugs. Such as chlorpropamide, gliclazide, tolbutamide, glibenclamide, phengidir, insulin, etc.

4.Others: furazolidone (dysentery), chloramphenicol, ketoconazole, griseofulvin, warfarin, trifluoperazine, torassurin, etc.

Treatment of disulfiram-like reactions.

Once acetaldehyde deoxygenase is inhibited, it usually takes 4-5 days to recover, and children may need 1-2 weeks, so it is recommended not to contact any drugs and foods containing alcohol for 5-7 days after taking the above drugs. If these drugs or foods are used at the same time, they can be treated symptomatically, depending on the severity of the reaction. Depending on the amount of alcohol consumed and the tolerance of acetaldehyde in different people, disulfiram-like reactions can show three different degrees of symptoms: mild, moderate and severe.

Mild: flushing of the face or whole body, mild dizziness, palpitation, no nausea, vomiting, fever, headache, etc.;

moderate: dizziness, headache, palpitation, nausea, vomiting, fever, but no chest pain, dyspnea, shock;

Severe: chest pain, dyspnea, shock, and even impaired consciousness, incontinence.

For mild disease, it is generally possible to gradually resolve after stopping drinking alcohol and resting for 4 to 12 hours.

For moderate to severe patients, the following should be done:

1.Call 120 for emergency services immediately**.

2.If possible, vomiting can be induced in situ while keeping the airway open and removing vomit and secretions from the mouth and nasal cavity.

3.Lie flat and rest with your head tilted to one side to prevent vomit from blocking the airway and causing suffocation, and wait for medical staff to come for treatment.

You should not drink alcohol after eating cephalosporin, because many cephalosporins interact with alcohol to produce a disulfiram-like reaction. If you accidentally drink alcohol after eating cephalosporin, pay attention to whether there is facial flushing, conjunctival hyperemia, unclear vision, dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, sweating, chest pain, and even dyspnea, blood pressure and other reactions. If there are no uncomfortable symptoms, you can observe, drink plenty of water, and urinate more.

If you have any of the above symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately and let the doctor help deal with it. In addition to cephalosporin, there are some drugs, such as nitrazoles, such as metronidazole, tinidazole, ornidazole, as well as chloramphenicol, ketoconazole, sulfonamide drugs, after using these drugs It is not recommended to drink alcohol, and it will also have a similar reaction with alcohol.

Although there is nothing wrong with it, the allergy is almost gone, but it is better to go to the hospital again, insurance. You can't drink alcohol for a week before and after eating cephalosporin! If you drink alcohol during the use of cephalosporins, if you have facial flushing, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, chest tightness, palpitations, blurred vision and other reactions, and even severe symptoms such as blood pressure drop, dyspnea, confusion, shock, etc., it is likely that the "disulfide-like reaction" caused by the reaction between cephalosporins and alcohol occurs.

"Disulfide waking reaction" is also known as the disulfide reaction. It should be paid attention to, because according to different physiques, some people will react violently, although some people are fine, but they are healthy, so they should pay attention to it.

Example: A citizen in Weihai took cephalosporin medication orally after catching a cold, and six days later, he drank with his friends after feeling better, but he fainted in shock before the banquet was over. The reporter learned from the emergency center of Weihai Municipal Hospital that due to the influence of holiday habits and low temperatures, during the Spring Festival every year, the hospital can receive a "disulfiram-like reaction" after drinking alcohol after taking medicine for a cold, which should cause the public to be vigilant.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, Mr. Huang, who lives in Weihai Village, went out to watch fireworks and suffered from a severe cold. Later, Mr. Huang went to the pharmacy to buy cephalosporin and take it. On the morning of the 15th, Mr. Huang, who felt that his health had improved, was invited by a friend to a hotel in the city for a drink.

Mr. Huang has always been a heavy drinker, but after drinking three bottles of beer this time, his face flushed, his chest tightened, his heart palpitated, and he passed out on the ground. The panicked friend immediately took Mr. Huang to a nearby hospital. After receiving oxygen and waiting, Mr. Huang finally woke up.

According to his account, the doctor on duty diagnosed him with a "disulfiram-like reaction" caused by alcohol consumption after taking cephalosporin cold medicine.

According to the doctor on duty, after taking cephalosporins, drinking alcoholic beverages, or even touching alcohol, there will be a reaction similar to Mr. Huang's, which is medically called "disulfiram-like reaction", which is manifested as shortness of breath, blood pressure drop, hallucinations and even anaphylactic shock. This kind of illness is usually rare, because of the low temperature during the Spring Festival, many people activities, and the custom of drinking, so it mostly occurs during the Spring Festival, and the general public should be vigilant. Medical staff remind the general public to stay away from alcoholic beverages within 7 days of taking cephalosporins.

Analysis:

Hello, after taking cephalosporins, drinking alcohol may have a disulfide-like reaction.

Guidance: In this case, it is mainly due to the fact that cephalosporins can block the metabolism of ethanol in the body, and then increase the concentration of blood ethanol, inosine, vitamin C and other drugs should be used in time to promote the metabolism of ethanol. If the conditions do not allow, you can drink more water and eat oranges, grapefruits, etc. appropriately to improve.

The doctor asked:

Cephalosporin only stays in our body for a maximum of three days, because it was infused three days ago, so now you can drink rice wine. But I think if you have inflammation in your body, it's best not to drink.

It is also best not to drink rice wine after three days of cephalosporin, which is not good for the body.
