A member asked:
Im on azithromycin 250 mg is it okay if i drink tonight . i took the day three pill an hour or so ago and am not going out for another 8 hours. ?

Probably OK: Alcohol generally does not interfere with any antibiotic. Azithromycin can irritate the GI tract, with abdominal pain, nausea, etc, and so can alcohol -- so the two together could be uncomfortable. Probably best to not take them together, at least a couple hours apart. Otherwise no worries if it doesn't bother your stomach.
