Can you drink alcohol while taking amox clav 875 mg tablets?

Answer 1

Yes! There is a common myth that alcohol mixed with antibiotics, such as Amoxicillin, causes interactions. This is not the case. While medical professionals will advise an individual taking an antibiotic to avoid alcohol it does not cause any interactions or pose a risk to the individuals health. The idea is that if you are sick enough to take antibiotics that you should not be drinking alcohol until you are well. There are no known drug interactions associated with Amoxicillin. There is also a belief that Amoxicillin is less effective when taken in combination of drinking alcohol, this too is untrue.
