Taking a break from antibiotics to drink alcohol?

antibiotics work out of your liver and need to keep working through its entire course to be effective so they say not to drink alcohol cause when you drink u will just pee the medicine right out and it would be as if u never took them.

my advice is just to skip the drinking until you get better

First of all, do not stop your medication. It may cause the sickness causing particles to become resistant to the medication.

Secondly, and most importantly, most antibiotics may be used in combination with alcohol.

The exceptions are metronidazole, cephamandole and (possibly) oral ketoconazole. The other ones are perfectly able to be combined with alcohol.

The reason we think otherwise is that we (because of these three medications) think that we shouldn't, and the doctor say it just to be sure. In some cases, we don't know exactly what will happen. However, if there were some serious side-effects, we should know by now.

Don't EVER stop a course of antibiotics, EVER. Now, unless the prescription said no alcohol, there isn't a reason why you can't have a drink. In fact I just checked, and there are no restrictions on Cipro. Now, that being said, your Doc should be the one you should talk to, not anyone here.

Look, whilst you are on antibiotics you CANNOT drink and YOU MUST finish your course of treatment before you stop. If you stop before finishing the treatment you will get sick again but not only that, the bacteria will become stronger and you will need a stronger and longer course of antiobiotics. Forget the drink, don't gamble with your life nor with the life of others. Every time bacteria becomes stronger it'll be harder for everybody around to get better. This is how the 'super bacteria' are born and that's how some people die. And you are thinking about a drink???????

Unless it says on the box not to drink alcohol its fine to do so i have been on meds for a week and had 3/4 drinks no issues.

It quite simply reduces the effectiveness of the antibiotics. Ive continuously drunk a bit of booze on them and never had any ill effects. It just makes them less effective. I get requested this lots in work and i consistently tell individuals that they may be able to drink sparsely on the traditional ones, like amoxycillin and co-amoxiclav, however there are distinct ones reminiscent of metronidazole which surely will have to not be combined with booze. Its continuously first-class to chek the patient expertise leaflet provided with medications, they're going to endorse on whether or not that you would be able to or now not.

It's bad to stop taking any antibiotics, and it's definitely bad to do it so you can drink.

I haven't thought about this

can someone tell what is the right answer for this question?
