A member asked:
I'm taking cephalexin 500mg would it hurt to have a drink been on it for four days now have to take for two weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No problem!: Mild to moderate alcohol intake (1-3 beers, drinks, or glasses of wine per day) won't interfere with cephalexin's effectiveness. But no heavy drinking; large doses of alcohol impair the body's ability to fight infections.
