Does alcohol cancel effectiveness of cephalexin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can drink alcohol while taking Keflex but do it in moderation at most. If you have a significant infection it would be best to abstain until its better. The alcohol will not interfere with the antibacterial effectiveness of the cephalexin.
