Question

Hey, I'm curious about how drinking alcohol might affect my Fludac prescription. I'm taking two doses of 20 mg each day, so that's 40 mg in total. Does having alcohol make the Fludac less effective, like is it pointless to take them if I'm still drinking? Also, I've been noticing some bloatingcould that be a side effect of Fludac? I'm a 52-year-old woman, 88 kg, so I'm wondering if it's also affecting my body fat.
