I've lost the leaflet that came with my amoxicillin antiobiotics?!


Question: Does anyone know if it's okay to drink with them? It doesnt say anything on the box.


Answers: Does anyone know if it's okay to drink with them? It doesnt say anything on the box.

do not drink whilst taking these, that's my wife's advice and she is a pharmacist

drinking while on antibiotics will weaken the effect and you won't get well. best not to until you have finished the course

Call the pharmacy...

better not to drink but wont do you much harm,maybe feel sick and get a bit flushed

Yes, as the first answer.

i was given amoxicillin by my dentist who knew i had 2 big work dinners coming up.he said i would be fine as long i didnt get slaughtered.but to be on the safe side you could always speak to yor pharmasist.they are a fountine of knowledge

Not sure...but please no matter if you feel better after a day or two finish the course....I didn't and got the infection back again 2x as painful.. Just a polite suggestion

There's nothing said on the leaflet about not drinking alcohol while on Amoxycillin but I'd still steer clear of it while taking them.

Yea drinking on antibotics will cause them to not work as well, especially if one drinks alot or everyday.

Alcohol will weaken the antibiotics and you could end up needing a second course to get rid of the infection. My sis did !!

If your not sure, call the pharmacy and ask, if not call your doctor or a hospital.... don't take any chances. If you don't get any answers call 1-866-797-0000 it's the Health line and ask them, they will help you....Good luck!

Pl take the same antibiotics with water only
it will give relief to u

eYou should contact your GP or Pharmacist for dosage instructions because there are different strenghths available.

The instructions on a lot of antibiotics don't contain an alcohol warning because it is not contra-indicated for that particular product, but even if there are no side effects, the efficacy of ALL anti-biotics are adversly affected (won't work as well) if mixed with alcohol.

I don't think you can with amoxycillin. all antibiotics can be affected with alcohol in some way so id say its best to steer clear just in case!

It's best not to drink on antibiotics.

Of all the drugs you shouldn't drink with, antibiotics are at the top of the list.

In moderation (two drinks max) no problem!
