Q. Can I take alcohol during treatment with Centilin Injection?
There are no studies to determine the effect of alcohol on treatment with Centilin Injection. However, since Centilin Injection is prescribed for stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, head injury, and age-related memory impairment, it is best to avoid the consumption of alcohol.
