Im a pharmacy dispenser, theres no reason why you cant. Ive been on amoxycillin for the last week, and got really pissed on friday night, had no illefects from it whatsoever.
Alcohol affects some meds, usually just makes them slightly less effective, but if you are only having one night of beer, it really wont make any difference.
I get loads of people asking about alcohol and medicine, so I know what im talking about!
Have a few, you will be fine. xx

You are going to have to be careful with this drug E it can be addictive and also in some casue people to become dizzy I would advise agains drinking whilst on these tablets to be honest you can drink but I do not neeed to tell you about your liver which this drug can effect if taken long term along with drinking. So yes you will feel drowsy and may be dizzy just be careful your gp knows of the drinking so he would not have given you something that would cause you great harm short term. So I take it that it was a nerve problem in your arm.

You're on antibiotics for a mouth infection, and you want to drink alcohol. Are you some kind of a nut????????
Alcohol affects the strength of the antibiotic if nothing else.

The only problem with alcohol and antibiotics is that if you drink they don't work!! If I were you, I'll be heading for the pub not the medicine cardboard after having an infection!!!

Your pharmacist would be best qualified to answer this question.
In general, you should not consume alcohol while on antibiotics. Just wait the three days. Unless you're an alcoholic, that should be no problem. It's only three days, you know?

no don't do it. My dad had to take the same antibiotic and the doctor told him not to drink alcohol until he was done taking the meds.

most antibiotics say weather or not you can drink alcohol if it doesn't say Do Not Drink Alcohol you should be fine to do so. you should always check with your GP though

Rule number one : When in doubt, dont consume alcohol when taking medication. Ask a medical professional if truly in doubt

It's fine to drink with most medications - all it does is slow down the effectiveness of the drug.
Your doctor or pharmacist will warn you if you're taking something that really shouldn't be mixed with alcohol.
