Alcohol

· Severity: Major

· Notes for Consumers: You should avoid alcoholic beverages while taking Ethosuximide. Alcohol can affect seizure control and interfere with the drug treatment, and may increase the risk of serious side effects. Decreased alertness, drowsiness, falls, or other side effects may occur. Do not drive or operate machinery if you are drinking alcohol-containing beverages. If you notice slurred speech, confusion, severe weakness, or difficulty breathing, contact your health care provider immediately.

· Notes for Professionals: Ethanol and other CNS depressants may increase the risk for CNS depression during ethosuximide treatments. In addition, ethanol intoxication may lower seizure thresholds, making an anticonvulsant drug less effective.
