Can i drink beer while taking penicillin vi 500mg tablets i'm taking this med for and abscess on my tooth ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No problem...: ...with mild or moderate alcohol intake. A couple of beers won't alter penicillin's effectiveness. But don't get drunk; heavy alcohol use can impair the body's infection fighting mechanisms.
