Any medication that can help calm your stomach from heartburn and nausea, including motion sickness, can interact negatively with alcohol.
Mixing these with alcohol can cause a rapid heartbeat and a sudden change in blood pressure. It also puts you at an increased risk of overdose and can make the alcohol effects stronger.
Avoid drinking if you take any of the following stomach-related medications:2
- Dramamine (dimenhydrinate)
- Antivert (meclizine)
- Tagamet (cimetidine)
- Reglan (metoclopramide)
- Axid (nizatidine)
