When taking Zecal tablets, which contain the active ingredient rosuvastatin used to lower cholesterol, it is generally advised to avoid or limit alcohol consumption. Drinking alcohol can boost the production of stomach acid, which might lead to heartburn and an upset stomach. Additionally, alcohol can increase the risk of liver problems and muscle-related side effects associated with rosuvastatin. Excessive alcohol use may also reduce the medication's effectiveness and increase side effects.

It's best to discuss your alcohol use with your doctor to get personalized advice based on your health status and treatment plan. If you choose to drink, do so in moderation and watch for any unusual symptoms such as muscle pain, weakness, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), and report these to your doctor promptly.
