Short answer

**No. Do not drink alcohol while taking amisulpride injection.**

Alcohol increases the sedative effects of amisulpride and can worsen low blood pressure and fainting. Amisulpride can also affect heart rhythm, and dehydration or electrolyte changes from drinking raise arrhythmia risk. If you had a single hospital dose, ask your clinician when it is safe to drink. Call your clinician for fainting, fast or irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, or extreme drowsiness.

Common questions

Can you drink alcohol while taking Amisulpride Injection?

No. Do not drink alcohol while taking amisulpride injection. Alcohol plus amisulpride increases drowsiness, slows your reactions, and can worsen low blood pressure that leads to fainting. Amisulpride can prolong the QT interval, so combining it with alcohol or substances that change electrolytes or heart rhythm raises the risk of dangerous arrhythmia. If you received a single injection, ask the clinician when it is safe to drink. Stop drinking and seek urgent care for fainting, rapid or irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, or extreme sleepiness.
