Hi! I have been prescribed Rozavel 10mg permanently. I also take Telma 20 mg. I am worried about the side effects of the drug though i know its good for reducing cholestrol. I have been asked to take it half an hour before dinner which is normally the time for some wine, does it react with such drinks?
Hi, It is not safe to consume wine while on Selma and Ravel. Alcohol (wine) and Selma may have additive effects in lowering your blood pressure. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and / or changes in pulse or heart rate. Further, alcohol may decrease the cholesterol lowering effect of Ravel. In view of the above it is better to avoid consuming alcohol or alcohol containing beverages like wine while taking these medications. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
