People with arthritis are being urged to always consult a doctor before consuming alcohol if they are taking any prescribed medications.
Arthritis refers to an inflammation of the joints. There are over 100 types and the condition affects some 840,000 people nationwide.
According to Arthritis Ireland (AI), some arthritis medications can be harmful to the liver and consuming alcohol on top of this could lead to serious liver damage.
