 Posted: 09/12/05 - 02:00 Post subject: Antibiotics And Alcohol |
  |
|
Hi. I have some questions and I would like to get some quick answers.
About a week ago I have experienced some simple flu like symptoms and I have contacted my GP over this.
He gave me some antibiotics and told me I should use them for about 10 days.
Last night I went out with some school bodies and I have drunk a few bears. When I came home I have realized what I have done.
I forgot all about the fact that antibiotics and alcohol shouldn’t be mixed together. What could I expect?

Well, what can I say, if nothing happened ‘till know than nothing will.
Alcohol can increase or decrease effect of antibiotic.You didn’t mentioned what antibiotic you are using and that could be important because, despite a commonly held belief that Antibiotics And Alcohol don't mix, it is only necessary to avoid drinking alcohol when taking some types of antibiotics. Antibiotics from this forbidden list are for example Metronidazole, Cephamandole and oral Ketocenazole. So, probably you used some antibiotic that does not produce so many side effects but in future, you should avoid this kind of situations. Continue with your therapy as your doctor told you to.

I am currently taking Prednisone and amox clav from a spider bite i received a week ago. If i have a few drinks will it mess up everything?. I still have a few days left on them to take |

| Why do you drink while taking medication? Can't you give it a break while you are sick?? The least that will happen is that the drinks will flush some of the antibiotic out of your body. You couldn't drink the same amount of water over the same time. |
