The prescribing information for anakinra, sold as Kineret, does not establish a safe alcohol limit during treatment. Ask your prescriber about drinking if you have liver disease, abnormal liver tests, or take other medicines. If you also take methotrexate, avoid alcohol because it increases the risk of liver damage. Drinking less reduces alcohol related health risks, and you should not skip anakinra doses to drink.
