A member asked:
Will using heroin prevent my antibiotics from working? also how will it affect my current condition my elbow has an open wound and because of this my my muscle is currently infected.

Heroin: The substance in itself does not suppress immunity, but the skin site infections associated with use do. The antibiotics will improve the infection, but the continued use will reintroduce more infection. Jumping on a sprained ankle keeps it sprained.
