You should always check with your Pharmacist before mixing any two medications, especially prescription medications. There are many varieties of analgesic and antibiotic, some of which may interact and cause medical complications. If you're unsure about the drugs in question, consult with a Pharmacist. A Pharmacy assistant may also be able to help you if your Pharmacist is unavailable for any reason.
