A member asked:
Can i drink beer if i am taking ic-smz-tmp 400-80mg?
A doctor has provided 1 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 Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) for some kind of infection (respiratory or urinary usually), 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. Talk to your doctor/counselor.
