A member asked:
Can i have a glass of wine if i'm taking 500mg of amoxicillin for a tooth infection?

1glass only!: Alcoholic beverages, including wine often reduce the effectiveness of medications. For your own well being, try to abstain, but one glass would probably be ok.

Not recommended: There is a common myth that alcohol mixed with antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, causes interactions. Because of the delay of the healing process alcohol is not recommended. Drink a lot of water and get well soon.
