I’ve recently broken my ankle and I’m currently having to elevate for 6 weeks, following having surgery 3 weeks ago. Due to this I’ve been prescribed injections of blood thinners, for 6 weeks once daily. I have a wedding to go to and would like some more information on drinking alcohol? I’m in a wheelchair at the moment and am able to elevate my leg whilst out and about and feel for the most part generally well. I was hoping to celebrate the wedding with a few drinks throughout the day. Would this be ok? I’ve not managed to find any information on this.
Ordinarily, one alcohol drink would not affect blood thinner medication unless there are other factors. Check with the prescribing doctor.
