Can I drink while taking antibiotics?!


Question: Good day!

The extent to which each dose of any drug reaches its site of action may be termed its availability. Alcohol can influence the effectiveness of a drug by altering its availability. A single drink of alcohol or several drinks over some hours may prevent a drug's metabolism by competing with the drug for the same processing sites within the liver. This type of interaction prolongs the drug's availability, and may increase the risk of side effects from the drug. On the other hand, chronic alcohol abuse may cause an increase in the liver's ability to process the drug, thus decreasing availability and reducing its effects. This effect may persist for several weeks after stopping drinking. To complicate matters further, a drug may affect the way in which alcohol is broken down, increasing the risk of becoming intoxicated.

you can but it makes them less effective so you may not get rid of whatever you are taking them for

depends;stay at home one night ,close to a bed,and drink one of whatever and wait your usual while,then so on. Test it yourself.BUT YES;it might frack you up, but it probally wouldnt kill you...different drugs have different effects on people;the only way to find out is to test it yourself;find out what happens and remember it;then you will know and could set your limit...

No, unless you want to stay sick
