A member asked:
Is it safe to drink alcohol while taking nitrofurantoin antibiotics for my uti?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
1-2 drinks..: 1-2 drinks of alcohol separately from time of taking the medicine should not affect the effectiveness of the medication/or cause problems, but be sensible. Be good and don't drink and drive. Good luck.

Yes: The two are not known to negatively interact, having a drink should be okay.
