Can I take Alcohol and Naseptin nasal together?

Why this happens

Naseptin contains two active ingredients: chlorhexidine (an antiseptic) and neomycin (an antibiotic). These work locally inside the nose. Very little of the medication is absorbed into your bloodstream, meaning it does not interact with how your body processes alcohol.

You can drink alcohol in moderation while using Naseptin. However, if you feel unwell or experience any unusual side effects like a skin rash or irritation, it is best to avoid alcohol until you feel better.
