A member asked:
Hi, how soon can one start consuming alcohol after getting shots of antibiotics(5 tabs of metrodinazole at once and 2 shrizo 500 tabs at one go and also an injection) this was all for bacterial infection and may take up to 7days to clear the bacteria?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
At least 2 days: You are likely to become terribly nauseated if you consume any alcohol before the metronidazole is out of your system. This would take at least two days if not longer. The other meds should be unaffected by social drinking.

Metrodicazole: "Manufacturers of metronidazole advise that you should avoid drinking alcohol while taking the antibiotic and for 48 hours after finishing the course. This is because it takes roughly 48 hours for metronidazole to be cleared from the body of an average adult."
