Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Can a person take alcohol after radio therapy?

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

There is no absolute contraindication for alcohol after radiotherapy. It all depends upon for which condition of radiotherapy is being given. Due to the underlying condition the liver capacity may be decreased and compromised. In that scenario the alcohol consumption may increase the liver load.

Thanks.

I appreciate your trust in icliniq.com and for giving me the chance to serve you.
