Nicotine Alcohol
Nicotine Alcohol
Nicotine is the generic name. It is a type of drug to help deter smoking cravings.
It is used to help with addiction to cigarettes for people who need another source of nicotine and to help break the smoking habit. Nicotine gum has been prescribed with Haloperidol for children with Tourette’s Syndrome.
It should not be used during the period immediately following a heart attack or if severe abnormal heart rhythms or angina pains are present.
Also people with severe temporomandibular loint disease (TMJ) should not chew nicotine gum.
Nicotine Alcohol
It is suggested moderate drinking while using this drug as the drug’s effectiveness may be decreased and the side effects may be increased.
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. If anything more than that it 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 or over the counter drugs it usually results in negative health effects most especially liver damage as the main organ affected.
