Question 1

can i drink beer while taking azithromycin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in moderation: Contrary to popular beliefs, alcohol in moderation doesn't interfere with antibiotics and it's OK to drink while taking them. Just don't overdo it. Both azithromycin and alcohol can upset the stomach, but no problem as long as you feel fine.

Question 2

how soon after taking the azithromycin can someone drink beer and alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Why stop?: You're allowed to drink alcohol while taking azithromycin.

Question 3

i finished my 5 day pack of azithromycin 2 days ago am i aloud to drink beer?

Accepted Answer

Better wait: Azithromycin has a long half life and a five day course is in your system for around ten days. So probably better to wait three more days. Alcohol and Azithromycin have not been conclusively shown to interact but why risk it?

Question 4

can i drink (wine, beer, etc) while being on azithromycin, today is nye?

Accepted Answer

Yes: No problem taking Azithromycin with alcohol but keep it in moderation as you must have some type of infection to be on an antibiotic to begin with.

Question 5

i've just been given an azithromycin, fluconazole and secnidazole combo kit. is it safe to take them 6 hours after drinking more than a pint of beer?

Accepted Answer

Use caution: Hi
I don't think it's a good idea to mix multiple medications, especially antibiotics and anti-fungals, with alcohol.

Question 6

is it okay for me to drink beer while taking metronidazole?

Accepted Answer

Metronidazole: Do not drink alcohol while taking Metronidazole unless you want to feel as bad as you have ever felt in your life. This medication is similar to Antabuse (disulfiram) (to prevent alcoholics from drinking) and you will deeply regret having had that beer.

Question 7

can i drink beer while taking aviane?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is no contraindication to consuming alcoholic beverages while on oral contraceptives.  There are some conflicting early reports of higher alcohol levels per drink in people on birth control, but it was relatively minor and did not consistently occur in all subjects. Safe drinking limits in women are no more than 7 drinks/week or one per day. If you are drinking 4 or more, it may be a problem.

Question 8

can i drink beer while taking penicillin?

Accepted Answer

Should be fine.: But if you're taking the penicillin for strep throat, the alcohol probably won't make your throat feel any better, and could make it a little more sore.

Question 9

is it possible for me to drink beer while taking lovastatin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but...: Just remember that Lovastatin is metabolized in the liver, which can be affected by alcohol.  I would limit your drinking to no more than one alcoholic beverage per day.  Be sure and tell you doctor so they can check your liver enzymes at your next blood draw.

Question 10
