Although it is sensible to avoid drinking alcohol when taking any medication; it is unlikely that drinking alcohol, in moderation, will cause problems if you are taking most common antibiotics. It is however, necessary to completely AVOID drinking when taking the following antibiotics: * metronidazole - the side-effects include flushing, breathlessness, headache, increased or irregular heart rate, low blood pressure, nausea and vomiting. * tinidazole - which is chemically similar to metronidazole and so may cause the same reaction. When taking co-trimoxazole and alcohol, there is a very slight possibility of side effects that are similar to metronidazole. However these effects are very rare and drinking alcohol in moderation does not normally cause a problem. It should be noted that antibiotics may have a variety of side effects that might be made worse by alcohol, for example, sleepiness and dizziness. To be safe, you should really check with your doctor or pharmacist.
No you can not drink alcohol while being treated for gonorrhea.
It won't affect the cure, but alcohol lowers your judgment. Don't have oral, anal, or vaginal sex until a week has passed since your treatment.
No, don't drink after the gonorrhea injection.

You can drink alcohol when you have gonorrhea. Be sure that you abstain from sexual contact, though, even if your judgment is clouded by drinking.

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.
