Question 14 • VA_Pharmacology_A

Why should alcohol not be mixed with some drugs?

Answer

A

Alcohol changes the concentration of drugs, which can result in reduced therapeutic effects.

B

Alcohol and other drugs are processed by the liver, which can stress and damage the liver.

C

Alcohol changes the levels of certain hormones, which can cause surprising laboratory results.

D

Alcohol and other drugs are metabolized differently, which can change the local effects of drugs.

Explanation

Alcohol and many drugs are processed by the liver. Taking them together can put extra strain on the liver and may increase the risk of liver damage, so alcohol should not be mixed with some medications. The other choices describe effects that are not the main general reason given here.
