Meds and alcohol

Thus has probably been beat to death in prior posts/threads, but here goes. Currently I am on the Lupron, Zytiga, Prednisone train. Have been for five years. Psa undetectable. In the evening I sometimes settle in to my chair with a once or two of Sambuca. Not much (76 proof). I was wondering if anyone had any input regarding mixing the two?

GOOGLE "Drug Name and Alcohol" to find info like the following:

Lupron interacts with many drugs. Although not a complete list, the following drugs interact with Lupron, causing serious problems: Both Lupron and alcohol can cause upset stomach, nausea, and dizziness. Drinking alcohol while using Lupron may worsen these effects. Avoid or limit drinking alcohol while taking Lupron.

Zytiga and alcohol. There’s no interaction between Zytiga and alcohol. But Zytiga has caused liver toxicity (dangerous levels of the drug that build up in the liver) in some people. Drinking too much alcohol may increase the risk of liver damage in people who are taking Zytiga.

Using prednisone and alcohol together can lead to the following side effects:
Weakened immune system
Dangerously high blood sugar from excess cortisol
Ulcers, stomach upsets, and other digestive problems

I've just started Zytiga in addition to Lupron. As much as I love a glass, or two, or three of chardonnay, I'm pretty much off alcohol for the moment until I see how my bloodwork looks after I've been on Zytiga for a while. For the time being I may indulge in a single glass on Friday or Saturday night, but otherwise it's water or a non-alcohol beer with dinner.

I've tried various non-alcohol beers over the years and most are pretty awful. But I've found Clausthaler is actually not bad.

Logo - that is so true.

Double whammy for staying home this year. Staying off roads and avoiding the virus.

To a really great bunch of folks - may your New Year be Happy, Prosperous, and Healthy.
