Using dextromethorphan together with ethanol can increase nervous system side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with dextromethorphan. Do not use more than the recommended dose of dextromethorphan, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medication without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

GENERALLY AVOID: The central nervous system-depressant effects of dextromethorphan and ethanol may be additive. The combination of these agents may result in additive CNS depression and impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be cautioned about the concomitant ingestion of dextromethorphan and ethanol. Consumption of large doses of either substance should be avoided.
