Percussion ES Alcohol
Percussion ES is the name of a drug which belongs to a family of drugs known as cough suppressants which affect the cough reflex which is triggered in the brain. The drug should not be used to treat a cough that is a result of smoking, asthma or emphysema.
Do not give this medicine to a child younger than 4 years old as death is a possibility.
This drug should not be used if you have taken an MAO inhibitor in the last 14 days.
It should not be used if you are pregnantas birth defects in the baby could occur.
It is suggested that you avoid drinking alcohol not even moderate drinking as it may greatly increase the known side effects of the 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.
