No, it is not safe to drink alcohol with medicine. It tells you that on the medicine bottle. "Do not take with alcohol." It can make your medicine not work.

I would suggest that you avoid alcohol while on these or for that matter, most prescriptions. If in doubt, you can refer to the prescription information provided with the medication, call the pharmacist or your doctor's office, or just avoid alcohol. For what it is worth, I specifically have read to avoid alcohol with pseudoephedrine. Good luck.

Best to avoid the drinking. Not a good habit anyway.

I would keep drinking two beers and if nothing bad or happens, maybe you could move up to three then four, ext ext
But you probably shouldn't
