Hi everyone not been on in a while sorry, but I would like to ask a question if anyone can help please?

I've been changed on medication again this week to 10mg Butrans patches which I have to change every 7days. Only started thursday and touch wood no side affects as yet!

My question is its my friends Birthday tonight and I just want to have a glass of wine for her Birthday and not sure if anyone else has had them and drank with them please??

Thanks

Tillypink

    Hi Tilly
    Sorry cant really help with your question, I know you are not suppose to drink, but most meds say this.
    I would like to say one wont do you any harm, but I wouldn't like it to ruin your night,
    Hope you enjoy yourself
    Love

    Hi, I had these for a while and to be honest felt so awful due to the pain anyway and the zoned out-ness from the patches that drinking was the last thing on my mind, sorry not to be able to help. Have a really great time though!!!!!

    Hi Tilly

    I use bu-trans and I do drink too - not a lot but I do drink if the situation arises. I alternate soft drinks with wine.

    If in doubt quickly ring the pharmacist.

    Love
