Ingesting grape juice with cyclosporine can reduce cyclosporine absorption.
Details
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy young adults shows that intake of purple grape juice 200 mL along with cyclosporine can decrease the absorption of cyclosporine by up to 30% when compared with water (53177). Separate doses of grape juice and cyclosporine by at least 2 hours to avoid this interaction.
|
Theoretically, grape juice might reduce the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
Details
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that ingestion of 200 mL of grape juice decreases phenacetin plasma levels. This is thought to be due to induction of CYP1A2 (2539).
|
It is unclear if grape juice or grape seed extract inhibits CYP2C9; research is conflicting.
Details
In vitro evidence shows that grape seed extract or grape juice might inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes (11094,53011,53089). However, a small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that drinking 8 ounces of grape juice once does not affect the clearance of flurbiprofen, a probe-drug for CYP2C9 metabolism (11094). The effects of continued grape juice consumption are unclear.
|

Details
|
Theoretically, hu zhang might increase the effects and adverse effects of carbamazepine.
Details
In animals, blood and tissue levels of carbamazepine were increased when given in combination with hu zhang. It is thought that increased levels of carbamazepine are due to cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibition (101418). This interaction has not been reported in humans.

|
Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2E1.
Details
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. In vitro research shows that resveratrol might inhibit the CYP2E1 enzyme (7864,70896). Also, a pharmacokinetic study shows that taking resveratrol 500 mg daily for 10 days prior to taking a single dose of chlorzoxazone 250 mg increases the maximum concentration of chlorzoxazone by about 54%, the area under the curve of chlorzoxazone by about 72%, and the half-life of chlorzoxazone by about 35% (95824). Chlorzoxazone is used as a probe drug for CYP2E1.
|
Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Details
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. In vitro research shows that resveratrol might inhibit the CYP3A4 enzyme (7864,70896). However, a clinical study in adults with NAFLD found that adding resveratrol 3000 mg daily for 8 weeks did not necessitate dose adjustments to any established medications metabolized by CYP3A4 (91327).
|
Theoretically, hu zhang might competitively inhibit the effects of estrogen replacement therapy.
Details
|
Theoretically, concomitant use of quercetin and antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Details
Clinical research suggests that a combination of quercetin, myricetin, and chlorogenic acid reduce levels of fasting glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes, including those already taking antidiabetes agents (96779). The effect of quercetin alone is unknown. |
Theoretically, taking quercetin with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Details
|
Theoretically, concomitant use might increase the levels and adverse effects of cyclosporine.
Details
A small study in healthy volunteers shows that pretreatment with quercetin increases plasma levels and prolongs the half-life of a single dose of cyclosporine, possibly due to inhibition of p-glycoprotein or cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), which metabolizes cyclosporin (16434). |
Theoretically, concomitant use might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2C8 substrates.
Details
|
Theoretically, concomitant use might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2C9 substrates.
Details
A small clinical study in healthy volunteers shows that taking quercetin 500 mg twice daily for 10 days prior to taking diclofenac, a CYP2C9 substrate, increases diclofenac plasma levels by 75% and prolongs the half-life by 32.5% (97931). Animal research also shows that pretreatment with quercetin increases plasma levels and prolongs the half-life of losartan (Cozaar), a substrate of CYP2C9 (100968). Furthermore, laboratory research shows that quercetin inhibits CYP2C9 (15549,16433). |
Theoretically, concomitant use might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2D6 substrates.
Details
|
Theoretically, concomitant use might alter the effects and adverse effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
Details
A small clinical study in healthy volunteers shows that pretreatment with quercetin increases plasma levels and prolongs the half-life of a single dose of cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), a substrate of CYP3A4 (16434). Animal research also shows that pretreatment with quercetin increases plasma levels and prolongs the half-life of losartan (Cozaar) and quetiapine (Seroquel), substrates of CYP3A4 (100968,104228). Other laboratory research also shows that quercetin inhibits CYP3A4 (15549,16433,16435). However, one clinical study shows that quercetin can increase the metabolism of midazolam, a substrate of CYP3A4, and decrease serum concentrations of midazolam by about 24% in some healthy individuals, suggesting possible induction of CYP3A4 (91573).
|
Theoretically, concomitant use might increase the levels and adverse effects of diclofenac.
Details
A small clinical study in healthy volunteers shows that taking quercetin 500 mg twice daily for 10 days prior to taking diclofenac increases diclofenac plasma levels by 75% and prolongs the half-life by 32.5%. This is thought to be due to inhibition of CYP2C9 by quercetin (97931). |
Theoretically, concomitant use might increase the effects and adverse effects of losartan and decrease the effects of its active metabolite.
Details
Animal research shows that pretreatment with quercetin increases plasma levels and prolongs the half-life of losartan (Cozaar) while decreasing plasma levels of losartan's active metabolite. This metabolite, which is around 10-fold more potent than losartan, is the result of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9- and CYP3A4-mediated transformation of losartan. Additionally, in vitro research shows that quercetin may inhibit P-glycoprotein-mediated efflux of losartan from the intestines, resulting in increased absorption of losartan (100968). These results suggest that concomitant use of quercetin and losartan might increase systemic exposure to losartan while also decreasing plasma concentrations of losartan's active and more potent metabolite. |
Theoretically, concomitant use might decrease the levels and effects of midazolam.
Details
A small clinical study in healthy volunteers shows that quercetin can increase the metabolism of midazolam, with a decrease in AUC of about 24% (91573). |
Theoretically, quercetin might increase the effects and adverse effects of mitoxantrone.
Details
In vitro research shows that quercetin increases the intracellular accumulation and cytotoxicity of mitoxantrone, possibly through inhibition of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), of which mitoxantrone is a substrate (107897). So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, concomitant use might increase the effects and adverse effects of OAT1 substrates.
Details
In vitro research shows that quercetin is a strong non-competitive inhibitor of OAT1, with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values less than 10 mcM (104454). So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. |
Theoretically, concomitant use might increase the effects and adverse effects of OAT3 substrates.
Details
|
Theoretically, concomitant use might increase the effects and adverse effects of OATP substrates.
Details
In vitro evidence shows that quercetin can inhibit organic anion-transporting peptide (OATP) 1B1-mediated uptake of estrone-3-sulfate and pravastatin (91581). Furthermore, clinical research in healthy males shows that intake of quercetin along with pravastatin increases the AUC of pravastatin by 24%, prolongs its half-life by 14%, and decreases its apparent clearance by 18%, suggesting that quercetin modestly inhibits the uptake of pravastatin in hepatic cells (91581). |
Theoretically, concomitant use might alter the effects and adverse effects of P-glycoprotein substrates.
Details
There is preliminary evidence that quercetin inhibits the gastrointestinal P-glycoprotein efflux pump, which might increase the bioavailability and serum levels of drugs transported by the pump (16433,16434,16435,100968,104228). A small study in healthy volunteers reported that pretreatment with quercetin increased bioavailability and plasma levels after a single dose of cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune) (16434). Also, two small studies have shown that quercetin might decrease the absorption of talinolol, a substrate transported by the gastrointestinal P-glycoprotein efflux pump (91579,91580). However, in another small study, several days of quercetin treatment did not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of saquinavir (Invirase) (16433). The reason for these discrepancies is not entirely clear (91580). Until more is known, use quercetin cautiously in combination with P-glycoprotein substrates. |
Theoretically, concomitant use might increase the effects and adverse effects of pravastatin.
Details
In vitro evidence shows that quercetin can inhibit OATP 1B1-mediated uptake of pravastatin (91581). Also, preliminary clinical research in healthy males shows that intake of quercetin along with pravastatin increases the maximum concentration of pravastatin by 24%, prolongs its half-life by 14%, and decreases its apparent clearance by 18%, suggesting that quercetin modestly inhibits the uptake of pravastatin in hepatic cells (91581).
|
Theoretically, quercetin might increase the effects and adverse effects of prazosin.
Details
In vitro research shows that quercetin inhibits the transcellular efflux of prazosin, possibly through inhibition of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), of which prazosin is a substrate. BCRP is an ATP-binding cassette efflux transporter in the intestines, kidneys, and liver (107897). So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, concomitant use might increase the effects and adverse effects of quetiapine.
Details
Animal research shows that pretreatment with quercetin can increase plasma levels of quetiapine and prolong its clearance, possibly due to inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) by quercetin. Additionally, the brain-to-plasma ratio of quetiapine concentrations increased, possibly due to inhibition of P-glycoprotein at the blood-brain barrier (104228). This interaction has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, concomitant use might inhibit the effects of quinolone antibiotics.
Details
In vitro, quercetin binds to the DNA gyrase site on bacteria (481), which may interfere with the activity of quinolone antibiotics.
|
Theoretically, quercetin might increase the effects and adverse effects of sulfasalazine.
Details
Animal research shows that quercetin increases the maximum serum concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve (AUC) of sulfasalazine, possibly through inhibition of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), of which sulfasalazine is a substrate (107897). So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, quercetin may increase the risk of bleeding if used with warfarin.
Details
Animal and in vitro studies show that quercetin might increase serum levels of warfarin (17213,109619). Quercetin and warfarin have the same human serum albumin (HSA) binding site, and in vitro research shows that quercetin has stronger affinity for the HSA binding site and can theoretically displace warfarin, causing higher serum levels of warfarin (17213). Animal research shows that taking quercetin for 2 weeks before initiating warfarin increases the maximum serum level of warfarin by 30%, the half-life by 10%, and the overall exposure by 63% when compared with control. Concomitant administration of quercetin and warfarin, without quercetin pre-treatment, also increased these measures, but to a lesser degree. Researchers theorize that inhibition of CYP3A4 by quercetin may explain these effects (109619). So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

|
Consumption of red wine can rapidly increase felodipine levels and adverse effects.
Details
Red wine taken on an empty stomach can cause "dose dumping" of extended-release felodipine, possibly by changing absorption or metabolism. Red wine can delay the appearance of felodipine in plasma until 4 hours after dosing and can rapidly increase its plasma concentration, producing peak serum levels 3 to 4 times higher than when felodipine is given with water. This can cause an increase in adverse effects 5 hours after dosing (11976).

In the US, it is recommended to discontinue alcohol during and for at least three days after therapy with metronidazole (107999); in Canada, it is recommended to discontinue alcohol during and for at least 1 day after therapy with metronidazole (108001).
|
Concomitant use may cause hypertensive crisis.
Details
Wine contains tyramine (105702), which is metabolized by monoamine oxidase. Concurrent use of MAOIs with tyramine-containing beverages can lead to elevated levels of tyramine in the body. This can increase the effects of tyramine, which has been reported to cause hypertension, headache, and hypertensive crisis in numerous cases (100189,100192,101010). Sensitivity to tyramine can increase up to 10-fold to 100-fold in people using an MAOI (100189,101010).

Although high quality evidence is lacking, there is concern that tinidazole can cause a disulfiram-like reaction when taken with alcohol. Prescribing materials in the US recommend discontinuation of alcohol during and for at least three days after therapy with tinidazole (107997).
|
Theoretically, concomitant use may cause a disulfiram-like reaction.
Details
Tolbutamide can cause a disulfiram-like reaction when taken with alcohol (2262).
|
Theoretically, concomitant use may increase the risk of adverse effects from alcohol.
Details
There have been reports of patients experiencing increased effects from alcohol while taking varenicline. Some cases involved unusual and sometimes aggressive behavior and were accompanied by amnesia (108021). Caution patients to use alcohol with caution when taking varenicline, as it may alter alcohol tolerance.
|
Concomitant use may increase the risk of acute hypotension.
Details
Acute alcohol intoxication can increase the risk of hypotension and additive effects with vasodilators (2262).
|
Alcohol can alter the effects of warfarin, although the exact effect depends on the nature of alcohol consumption.
Details
Acute alcohol intoxication can decrease metabolism and increase the effects of warfarin. In contrast, chronic, heavy alcohol use can induce metabolism of warfarin, reducing therapeutic effectiveness (2262).

General
...Orally, the whole fruit, as well as the seed, fruit, and leaf extracts, seem to be well tolerated.
Topically, grape seed extracts seem to be well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Abdominal pain, diarrhea, dry mouth, dyspepsia, headache, joint pain, and nausea.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Anaphylaxis to grape skin has been reported.
Dermatologic ...Orally, mild hair thinning has been reported in a patient taking a specific grape leaf extract AS195 KG) (2538). Urticaria (hives) has also been reported with this same extract (53206). Cases of contact dermatitis have been reported in grape workers, including those working in California vineyards (53270,53272,53275).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, abdominal pain and nausea have been reported with use of grape seed extract, but these effects typically occur at rates similar to placebo (9182,13162). In a case report of a 57-year-old man, intermittent nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea occurred over a 10-day period and improved once grape seed extract was stopped (96764). Gastrointestinal adverse effects have also been reported with use of a different grape seed extract (Entelon, Hanlim Pharm). However, the specific types of gastrointestinal effects were not described (100954). A specific grape leaf extract AS195 (Antistax, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG) has reportedly caused flatulence, mild constipation, gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, dyspepsia, dry mouth, and retching (2538,52985,53206). Diarrhea, gastrointestinal distress, indigestion, and aversion to taste have been reported with use of Concord grape juice (52972,53166,53175,53181,53199). Loose stools have been reported in a clinical trial of grape pomace (99270). Bowel obstruction caused by intact grapes and grape seeds has been described in case reports (53241,53284,53278). Excessive consumption of grapes, dried grapes, raisins, or sultanas might cause diarrhea due to laxative effects (4201).
Hematologic ...Orally, one case of leg hematoma following a minor trauma was reported in a person using grape leaf extract (2538). Also, one case of bruising was reported in a person drinking Concord grape juice daily for 2 weeks (52972).
Immunologic ...Orally, there is one report of an anaphylactic reaction to oral grape skin extract, which included urticaria and angioedema (4073).
Musculoskeletal ...Orally, musculoskeletal disorders, including back pain, have been reported with use of a specific grape leaf extract AS195 KG) (2538,53206). Joint pain and lumbago have been reported with use of grape seed extract, but these effects occur at rates similar to placebo (91541).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, headache has been reported with use of grape seed extract, but this effect occurs at rates similar to placebo (9182,91541). A specific grape leaf extract AS195 (Antistax, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG) has reportedly caused dizziness, tiredness, headache, and sleep problems (2538,53206). As a class, nervous system adverse effects have been reported with use of a specific grape seed extract (Entelon, Hanlim Pharm). However, the specific types of adverse neurologic effects were not described (100954).
Ocular/Otic ...Orally, ocular adverse effects have been reported with use of a specific grape seed extract (Entelon, Hanlim Pharm). However, the specific types of ocular adverse effects were not described (100954).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Orally, nasopharyngitis and oropharyngeal pain have been reported with use of a specific grape leaf extract AS195 KG) (53206). Sore throat, cough, allergic rhinitis, and nasopharyngitis have been reported with use of grape seed extract, but these effects occur at rates similar to placebo (9182,91541). One case report describes a 16-year-old female who developed increased levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) following skin-prick exposure to grape vine pollen, as well as positive test responses following bronchial and conjunctival provocation (53301). Reduced forced vital capacity has been described in California grape workers (53080,53081). Occupational eosinophilic lung was diagnosed in a grape grower with a history of asthma. Respiratory exposure to sulfites in grape was implicated as the cause of the adverse reaction (53285).
Other
...Orally, grape products can cause adverse effects due to contamination with pesticides or mycotoxins.
Some evidence has shown that pesticides used in vineyards may remain on grape surfaces post-harvesting. For example, the fungicide folpet sprayed on grapevines has been shown to remain on the grape surface. Although there was minimal penetration of the epicuticular wax, it showed high resistance to washing (52935). Carbaryl has been identified in over 58% of juice samples collected in Canada. This pesticide reportedly occurred more frequently in grape than in other juices. However, estimates of short-term intake were below proposed acute reference doses (53003).
Ochratoxin A is a mycotoxin that is suspected to be nephrotoxic, teratogenic, hepatotoxic and carcinogenic and has been identified in grape juice, frozen grape pulps, and red and white wine sold in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. However, the highest levels identified in grape products were lower than the established virtually safe dose of 5 ng/kg of body weight daily (53010,53004). Ochratoxin A has also been identified in red, but not white, grape juice marketed in Switzerland, Canada, and the U.S. (53292,53020).
General ...There is currently a limited amount of information on the adverse effects of hu zhang.
General ...Orally and intravenously, quercetin seems to be well tolerated in appropriate doses. Topically, no adverse effects have been reported. However, a thorough evaluation of safety outcomes has not been conducted.
Gastrointestinal ...Intravenous administration of quercetin is associated with nausea and vomiting (9564).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, quercetin may cause headache and tingling of the extremities (481,111500). Intravenously, quercetin may cause pain at the injection site. Injection pain can be minimized by premedicating patients with 10 mg of morphine and administering amounts greater than 945 mg/m2 over 5 minutes (9564). In addition, intravenous administration of quercetin is associated with flushing and sweating (9564).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Intravenous administration of quercetin at doses as high as 2000 mg/m2 is associated with dyspnea that may persist for up to 5 minutes (9564).
Renal ...Intravenously, nephrotoxicity has been reported with quercetin in amounts greater than 945 mg/m2 (9563,9564,70304).
General
...In foods, resveratrol is well tolerated.
When used orally in higher doses, as well as topically or intranasally, resveratrol seems to be well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Diarrhea, gastrointestinal discomfort, and loose stools.
Dermatologic
...Orally, there is one case of a pruritic skin rash that occurred in a clinical trial.
The rash resolved two weeks after stopping resveratrol (109163).
Topically, a case of allergic contact dermatitis has been reported after applying a facial cream (Resveratrol BE, Skinceuticals) containing aqueous resveratrol 1% in combination with Baikal skullcap root extract 0.5%. Patch testing identified a positive reaction to both ingredients (110024).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, mild gastrointestinal discomfort with increased diarrhea or loose stools has been reported, especially when resveratrol is taken in doses of 2. 5-5 grams daily (71042,71052,91327,95830,109163,109164,109167).
Hematologic ...In one clinical study, a patient developed severe febrile leukopenia and thrombocytopenia after taking oral resveratrol 500 mg three times daily for 10 days. Upon re-exposure to resveratrol, febrile leukopenia recurred (109163).
Musculoskeletal ...Orally, resveratrol has been associated with muscle cramps in patients on peritoneal dialysis. The causality of this adverse effect has not been established (95830).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, resveratrol has been associated with headache, fatigue, and memory loss in patients on peritoneal dialysis. The causality of these adverse effects has not been established (95830).
General
...Orally, the side effects of wine depend on the amount of alcohol ingested and can vary among individuals.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Most adverse effects are associated with alcohol content and include abdominal pain, aggression, blackouts, central nervous system (CNS) depression, confusion, diarrhea, drowsiness, emotional lability, flushing, hypoglycemia, hypothermia, indigestion, lack of coordination and trouble walking, migraines, nausea, neuropathies, perceptual and sensational disturbances, and vomiting.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Chronic heavy alcohol ingestion (three or more drinks daily) can lead to amnesia, cardiac myopathy, cirrhosis, dementia, hepatotoxicity, malnutrition, myocardial infarction (MI), physical dependence, and somnolence. Other effects of chronic use are chronic cerebellar syndrome, hypomagnesemia, Korsakoff's psychosis, pancreatitis, skeletal myopathies, various types of cancer, and Wernicke's encephalopathy.
Chronic ingestion of three or more alcoholic beverages daily is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, ischemic stroke, and hypertension. Consumption of any amount of alcohol can increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.
Cardiovascular ...Orally, chronic heavy alcohol ingestion of three or more drinks daily is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, atrial fibrillation, cardiac myopathy, hypertension, ischemic stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI) (2261,6843,6892,8102,9004,33984,34028,34054,34058,34059). Consumption of any amount of alcohol can increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (841,2271).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, wine can cause a variety of side effects which depend on the amount of alcohol ingested and can vary among individuals. Some common side effects include abdominal pain, diarrhea, indigestion, nausea, and vomiting. (6843,8972,9004,34013,34031). Chronic alcohol use is also associated with pancreatitis (6843,9004).
Hepatic ...Orally, chronic heavy alcohol ingestion (three or more drinks daily) can lead to cirrhosis and hepatotoxicity (6843,9004).
Immunologic ...People who are allergic to sulfites and/or yeast might react to wine. Wine is associated with triggering asthmatic reactions in people with a history of asthma, possibly due to salicylates and/or added sulfites contained in wines (6174). A case report describes a 33-year-old female who developed allergic reactions ranging from mild symptoms to anaphylaxis after consumption of beer or wine. The allergy was attributed to the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is used in the fermentation of both beverages (107819).
Musculoskeletal ...Orally, wine can cause a variety of side effects which depend on the amount of alcohol ingested and can vary among individuals. Some common side effects include lack of coordination and trouble walking. Other effects of chronic use include skeletal myopathies (6843,8972,9004).
Neurologic/CNS
...Orally, wine can cause a variety of side effects which depend on the amount of alcohol ingested and can vary among individuals.
Some common side effects include blackouts, central nervous system (CNS) depression, drowsiness, lack of coordination and trouble walking, migraines, neuropathies, and perceptual and sensational disturbances. Chronic heavy alcohol ingestion (three or more drinks daily) can lead to amnesia, dementia, physical dependence, and somnolence. Other effects of chronic use are chronic cerebellar syndrome, Korsakoff's psychosis, and Wernicke's encephalopathy (6843,8972,9004,34055,34068).
Heavy alcohol consumption (fifteen or more drinks weekly) is also associated with a higher percentage of white matter changes and larger ventricular and sulcal size on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. This suggests that heavy alcohol consumption decreases cerebral blood flow and may contribute to brain atrophy (8651). Consumption of any amount of alcohol can increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (841,2271).
Oncologic
...There is evidence that heavy alcohol consumption is associated with the mutation of the p53 gene in individuals with esophageal carcinoma (9005).
There is also some evidence that heavy consumption of wine is associated with the highest risk of esophageal cancer when compared with heavy consumption of beer and spirits (8972,9004). Chronic heavy alcohol ingestion (three or more drinks daily) can lead to mouth cancer, esophageal cancer, pharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, and liver cancer (6843,8972,9004,31557,33977,34010,34037,34045,34061,34065,34069,34085). Some research suggests an association between alcohol consumption and an increased risk of pancreatic cancer, but other studies do not support this association (8038). Daily consumption of one or more alcoholic drinks in females might increase the risk of breast cancer by 2% to 15% and increase mortality from breast cancer by as much as 30% (6843,8100,8974,9006,96686). There is also evidence suggesting that females who consume alcohol daily have an increased risk of developing breast cancer when the daily intake of folate is 300 mcg or less (8974,9006). However, the association of wine intake and breast cancer risk in females may vary depending on the type of wine. Red wine results in higher levels of free testosterone and luteinizing hormone (LH) and lower hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels when compared with white wine. This suggests that red wine has similar activity to aromatase inhibitors and may not increase the risk of breast cancer unlike white wine (97992).
Observational research has found that wine consumption is associated with a higher risk of developing skin cancer in females and a higher risk of invasive melanoma in both males and females (97055,97991).
Psychiatric ...Orally, wine can cause a variety of side effects which depend on the amount of alcohol ingested and can vary among individuals. Some common side effects include aggression, confusion, and emotional lability (6843,9004,34040). Chronic heavy alcohol ingestion (three or more drinks daily) can lead to dementia, physical amnesia, and somnolence (6843,8972,9004).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Orally, wine can cause a variety of side effects due to the alcohol content. The side effects depend on the amount ingested and can vary among individuals. A common side effect includes respiratory depression (6843,8972,9004). Wine is also associated with triggering asthmatic reactions in people with a history of asthma, possibly due to salicylates and/or added sulfites contained in wines (6174).
Other
...Orally, chronic heavy alcohol ingestion (three or more drinks daily) can lead to malnutrition and poor glycemic control (6843,8972,9004).
There is some evidence consumption of more than six beers per week is associated with a larger waist-to-hip ratio than those consuming an equivalent amount of hard liquor or wine. However, an association between moderate alcohol intake equivalent to approximately three beers per week or less and waist-to-hip ratio does not seem to exist (10164,10165). It is also unclear whether waist-to-hip ratios associated with the intake of wine, beer, or other alcoholic beverages have any clinical significance (9007).
