A member asked:

After taking 1 pill amoxicillin 500 mg, how long should you wait before drinking?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No wait necessary : Assuming that you mean drinking alcohol, there are no known interactions between Amoxicillin and the ethanol in alcoholic beverages. Be sure to keep your drinking moderate, however, or you may end up needing more than Amoxicillin ;-).
