A member asked:
Is it safe to drink alcohol if you are taking clindamycin ? if so does the amount you drink make a difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably safe butttt: If you are on antibiotics, it is best not to be drinking while on the med and with an infection. Alcohol is a depressant and can affect the white cells via the bone marrow. One drink is not what I am referring to. It's just best to get well and then drink responsibly.
