Can I take 1.5mg and Stelara together?

Why this happens

Both alcohol and Stelara are processed or monitored by the liver. While there is no direct chemical reaction between the two, alcohol can cause inflammation and damage to liver cells, potentially complicating the long-term safety of your treatment. Additionally, alcohol is a known trigger for inflammation in the body.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while you are being treated with Stelara. If you choose to drink, keep your intake very low and monitor yourself for any unusual tiredness or signs of liver issues (such as yellowing of the eyes or skin). Discuss your alcohol consumption with your specialist to ensure it is safe for your specific health situation.
