A member asked:
Can you smoke recreational weed or drink alcohol while taking cecadroxil 500 mg capsules for a throat infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Misspelled: I'm sure you meant Cefadroxil , an antibiotic used for treatment of UTI urinary tract infections. Neither cannabis nor alcohol should be used with any antibiotics, due to possible interaction and severe reduction of antibiotic's efficacy , which may prolong a treatment time of infection.
