ALCOHOL: Avoid drinking alcohol and taking medications that contain alcohol while taking keroconzole and for at least three days after you finish the medication. Alcohol may cause nausea, abdominal cramps, vomiting, headaches, and flushing the medication out your system without giving it a chance to work properly.

Does drinking alcohol while on antibotics not do any good?
I believe it makes the antibiotic not work as well. Editd by johnv714 to improve answer: According to James Steckelberg, MD, of the Mayo Clinic, the effects of combining antibiotics and alcohol can vary, depending on the specific antibiotic. Alcohol doesn't noticeably diminish the effectiveness of some antibiotics. However, antibiotics and alcohol can cause similar side effects, such as stomach upset, dizziness and drowsiness. When you combine antibiotics and alcohol, these side effects may increase. A few antibiotics - such as metronidazole (Flagyl), tinidazole (Tindamax) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim) - should not be mixed with alcohol because this may result in a more severe reaction. Drinking any amount of alcohol with these medications can result in side effects such as flushing, headache, nausea and vomiting, and rapid heart rate. Keep in mind that some cold medicines and mouthwashes also contain alcohol. So check the label and avoid such products while taking these antibiotics.

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