Novarel Alcohol Interaction

Novarel Alcohol

Novarel generic name is human chorionic gonadotropin an under the skin injectable drug is also sold under the brand names Novarel, Ovidrel and Pregnyl and is a hormone that supports the normal development of an egg in a woman’s ovary and also stimulates the release of the egg during ovulation.

It is used to aid ovulation and to treat infertility in women and to increase the sperm count in men. It is also used for young boys when their testicles have not dropped down into the scrotum. This may be caused by a pituary gland disorder.

It is suggested that you discuss with your physician the drinking of alcohol while using this drug.

At this time the medical community defines moderate consumption of alcohol as no more than two drinks per day and no more than 14 drinks per week. Anything more than that is considered an unhealthy dependency on alcohol that may have adverse social, family and health consequences.

If a person drinks only once or twice a week but drinks on the same days each week and more than two drinks this is considered as an alcohol dependency.

If a person binge drinks at any time during the week this is also considered as alcoholism.

Some consider alcoholism as a disease while others consider it an addiction which is the result of personal choice and character fault. This school of thought blames the alcoholism on life style choices.

Personally I consider alcoholism a genetic tendency as I have seen families of alcoholics even when they live far apart. These unfortunate people are probably dependent on alcohol from the first drink.

When alcohol interacts with prescription over the counter drugs it usually results in negative health effects most especially liver damage as the main organ affected.
