Best Answer

Alcohol does not affect typical treatments for chlamydia and gonorrhea. There are no known drug interactions between alcohol and azithromycin, doxycycline, amoxicillin, and ceftriaxone. If you are using some other medication, contact your health care provider or pharmacist for advice specific to your situation.

What if you smoke marijuana while having chlamydia?

CDC treatment guidlines list possible treatments for non-pregnant patient as azithromycin, doxycycline, erythromycin, ofloxacin, and levofloxacin. Pregnant women may also use amoxicillin. There are no known drug interactions between alcohol and any of these antibiotics. Drinking alcohol will not affect how well treatment for chlamydia works. I'm not sure of the origin of this urban myth, but maybe some people confuse these medications with metronidazole, which is used for treatment of trichomonas and bacterial vaginosis, and which can cause serious nausea and vomiting if taken with alcohol. Any standard prescribing reference can confirm the lack of drug interactions between alcohol and these medications.
