Peanut allergen powder and Alcohol/Food Interactions

Consumption of alcoholic beverages or products containing alcohol within 2 hours of taking peanut allergen extract may increase the risk and severity of allergic reactions that can sometimes occur during treatment with peanut allergen extract.

Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. You should also take peanut allergen extract with a meal, preferably in the evening, and do not take peanut allergen extract within 2 hours of bedtime. Stop using peanut allergen extract, administer epinephrine, and seek immediate medical attention if signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction develop such as trouble breathing, swallowing, or speaking; throat tightness or swelling; dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting; rapid or weak heartbeat; severe stomach cramps or pain; vomiting or diarrhea; and/or severe flushing or itching. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
