Norethisterone

[lucylocket69]

Well off on my jollies soon to Crete and it happens to be smack bang during that time of month :S
So went to the Docs and they gave me Norethisterone (1tablet 3 times a day) to delay it.
However, i was just wondering.....Can you drink alcohol whilst on these? I presume you can as they aren't antibiotics or anything but still lol....and i want to havea jolly good knees up when i'm there.
Any ideas would be great ta!

it's going to be 102 degrees there in a couple of days, so take that into account when you're knees-upping!

oh, just to answer the question, no, there shouldn't be any problem with alcohol; it's quite often used for people going on holiday.

As a matter of interest, it's an urban myth that you musn't drink whilst using antibiotics (except in the case of two - Metronidazole and Tinidazole).
