Question 1

can you drink beer while taking femara (letrozole)?

Accepted Answer

Why are you on it?: If you are on the medication to assist in getting pregnant, then alcohol is not your friend.  If you are talking about one or two beers on an occasion, it shouldn't make any difference.  If you are talking a six-pack a day (or any regular use), alcohol impairs ovulation as well as the maturation of follicles.  If it is being used in the setting of breast cancer prevention, alcohol is also not good.

Question 2

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 3

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 4

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 5

will i be able to drink beer while taking amoxacillin?

Accepted Answer

No: I am always worried when people who are sick ask if they can drink while they're sick - this to me is a potential indicator of a drinking problem. You are on Amoxil (amoxicillin) for some kind of infection, and alcohol is not good for people with infections - it suppresses our immune system, makes it harder for white cells to find and eat bacteria. Alcohol has many drug interactions. Talk to your doctor.

Question 6

is it ok to drink beer while taking 2000mg of metformin daily. ?? will i feel different if i drink beer?

Accepted Answer

Beer: Medication and alcohol usually don't go well together

Question 7

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 8

can you drink beer while taking doxycycline?

Accepted Answer

It is listed: A minor interaction is listed in the engines (interaction checker). However, how significant in your case can only be determined by your physician.

Question 9

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 10

can i drink beer while taking zyrtec (cetirizine)?

Accepted Answer

NO: And the zyrtec shouldn't be your question, it should be the Klonopin (clonazepam).  Benzos and alcohol DO NOT MIX.  In fact, alcohol use itself can promote anxiety - it initially will dull it a bit, but then will rebound and it will increase - becomes a vicious cycle. Exactly how much beer are we talking about, and does the prescriber of your Klonopin (clonazepam) know about it?  If not, they NEED to know, and soon.
