Patient discussion about mistura.

Q. Is it safe to mix alcohol and Marijuana? A friend of mine suggested smoking some in a party after drinking heavily…I refused because I don’t know what the effect will be…is it dangerous?

A. Good call…not that it can kill you or something but using one drug that effect the central nervous system is bad enough but still “controllable”’ while mixing both cannot produce any expected reaction. Every time doing so you can find yourself in a very different state. About the toxisity- not enough is known about marijuana and mixing it with alcohol to say for sure that it’s toxic. But also the other way around…no one can asure you it’s safe. I would avoid doing so.

Q. How long between allergy medication can I give a child cold medication? I gave my boyfriend’s son allergy medication and he also has a cold I wanted to know when I can give him cold mediation for his cold. He is 5 years old.

A. This is a question for a professional. Some medication react with others, you should call a Doctor or a pharmacist and ask them. And ask them if it’s o.. to give a cold medicine to a 5 year old. If it’s not a bad cold- you can treat it the old fashion way, steams, chicken soup, a lot of tea.

Q. What medications are forbidden to take with alcohol? And why is that?

A. I think this web page will give you something to think about:
