A member asked:
Taking clindamycin 300 mg - 7 days after starting with iv for tooth abscess which has been pulled. tomorrow is my last pill, when is it safe to drink?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Whenever you want: Alcohol won't interfere with clindamycin or your abscess. You didn't need to avoid alcohol (in moderation) during treatment. Of course heavy drinking can interfere with the immune system's response to infections and should be avoided.
