Dear Helmut,

❝ A better release of the API from the formulation (enhanced solubility) I would consider a myth, because alcohol is one the few drugs which are very rapidly absorbed from the stomach – so nothing will be left before the absorption from the formulation will have a chance to start.


Well... There are discussions about some modified release formulations, where the coating could be damaged by alcohol, resulting in dose dumping. Avoid taking your ER morphine with a large glass of whisky.
