Wine and Acetaminophen, Dichloralantipyrine, Isometheptene

These two interact in 2 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 2 Interactions?

Wine interacts with whole categories of medication. Acetaminophen, Dichloralantipyrine, Isometheptene falls into 2 of those categories, so it can interact with Wine in 2 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Major).

Major

CNS DEPRESSANTS

1 of 2

Why this applies to Acetaminophen, Dichloralantipyrine, Isometheptene

Acetaminophen, Dichloralantipyrine, Isometheptene falls under CNS DEPRESSANTS — the group Wine interacts with.

Concomitant use may increase sedative and other adverse effects.
Concomitant use of alcohol with CNS depressants can increase sedative and other adverse effects, potentially through inhibition of the metabolism of certain CNS depressants.
Severity Major Likelihood Likely Evidence C

Well-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

This headache medicine combines acetaminophen, isometheptene, and dichloralphenazone. That last ingredient is a mild sedative, so the whole product can already make you drowsy. Adding wine pushes that further. Alcohol and this kind of calming medicine stack on top of each other, so you may feel extra sleepy, dizzy, foggy, or unsteady on your feet, and your breathing can slow more than expected.

There's also a second concern worth knowing: both alcohol and acetaminophen are processed by the liver, and regular or heavy drinking with acetaminophen raises the risk of liver strain. This combo is rated a major interaction. Please don't change anything on your own. Check with your pharmacist or doctor about whether it's okay to have wine while taking it.

HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS

2 of 2

Acetaminophen, Dichloralantipyrine, Isometheptene also falls under HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS.

Concomitant use of alcohol with hepatotoxic drugs may increase the risk of hepatotoxicity.
Concomitant use of excessive amounts of alcohol with potentially hepatotoxic drugs can increase the risk of liver damage.
Severity Major Likelihood Probable Evidence C

Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports..

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

This migraine combo includes acetaminophen, the same active ingredient found in Tylenol. Your liver does the heavy lifting of breaking acetaminophen down, and one of the side paths it uses creates a small amount of a toxic byproduct. Normally your body mops that up just fine. But when you add wine or other alcohol, especially regularly or in larger amounts, it can stress the liver and make that cleanup harder, raising the chance of liver injury.

Warning signs of liver trouble include nausea, belly pain on the upper right side, unusual tiredness, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. An occasional glass with a single dose is far less concerning than heavy or daily drinking. To be safe, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about how much alcohol is okay for you.

About Wine

What is Wine?

  • Social and relaxation use
  • Heart health (popular belief)
  • Antioxidant intake
  • Aiding digestion (traditional use)
  • Culinary flavoring

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes and is not a true dietary supplement or medicine. Despite popular claims about heart benefits, the alcohol it contains carries real health risks, and no amount of drinking can be recommended to improve health. If you drink, do so in moderation, and avoid alcohol entirely during pregnancy or if you have certain medical conditions.
