I drunk alcohol while on an antibiotic for gonorrhea. will it stop the medication from working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It should still work: A normal healthy person drinking a couple of alcoholic drinks should see no change in the effectiveness of her antibiotics. Haven't heard of any research studies looking into what happens when a specific larger number of alcoholic drinks is combined with gonorrhea therapy... but it's best not to do any heavy drinking anyway.
