I am currently suffering from an anal fissure and I have been prescribed Rectogesic and I'm wondering if I can still drink alcohol? I'm going out for my sister's 18th and I'm wondering would alcohol make more lightheaded and dizzy than usual when I am using Rectogesic?

    Hi . I don't think you can have alcohol because side efects. And more importantly because of your fissure.

    Hi Jonathan,

    ​Really hope your ok and not in to much Pain, yes i use Rectogesic when i have a set back it certainly works for me, pain releif acts very quickly.

    ​I know you will be Celebrating your Sisters Big Birthday but dont drink as much as you would have had before.

    When i have a set back and use Rectogesic i still drink wine but its not in a Party Mode eh.

    ​Have a Great Party Enjoy.
