Can you drink alcohol when on penicillin?

If you are on penicillin and drinking alcohol then you should drink very minute servings as that and the penicillin can counter act with your kidneys and you could get kidney damage or even worse kidney failure.On a less fatalistic note - alcohol will reduce the effectiveness of your immune system, negating the beneficial effects of the penicillin. While renal damage IS possible, it is rare. Your best bet is to consult your doctor.

Alcohol would probably be fine with penicillin, however you should be careful because it can make you feel the effects of the alcohol faster than normal. The "apo" before the "pen vk" just refers to the manufacturer Apotex. Lord knows if you have an absess you are probable experiencing some discomfort, so, be careful if you use Tylenol or Motrin. Taking pain relievers with alcohol is probably more dangerous than penicillin.
