A member asked:

I finished vancomycin last friday at 4pm, how soon can i start drinking alcohol?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Hiep Le answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Alcohol does not interact with Vancomycin' s effectiveness. However, please be careful with drinking because you was just treated for some type of infection and alcohol can add another insult to your body.
