After a one dose treatment of Flagyl you should wait at least 48 hours before you consume alcohol. If you do not wait the recommended time, you could experience negative side effects because Flagyl interacts with alcohol.

If you skip a dose of flagyl is it okay to have a drink?

NO. You shouldn't skip a dose of any medicine, but Flagyl is given for very serious infections and you need to keep on schedule. Besides, Flagyl can be given rectally if taking it orally doesn't work, which it won't if you skip doses. Also, what's to keep you from skipping a dose often so you can have a drink. Some medicines can damage your liver if you stop taking them to drink alcohol. Take your meds until you're finished and then MAYBE you can have a drink.

What time should I take flagyl if it is prescribed for 3 times a day?

First off, you should not be taking Flagyl - this is a medication that is intended to treat intestinal conditions in dogs and cats. However, if you are asking when you should give your dog/cat Flagyl with a 3/day dose schedule - ideally you should give them medication approximately every 8 hours. I would start with your work schedule - are you gone longer than 8 hours in the day? If so, give the first dose when you leave the house (say, 8 AM). Then give the next dose as soon as you get home (4 PM would be the ideal dose time). The third dose would be due at midnight (not fun, but it's better for the dog if you do it this way).If you have the flexibility to give doses that work with your schedule, try 5 AM (then go back to sleep), 1 PM and 9 PM - this minimizes the impact on your (and your dog's) sleep schedule.

You drank alcohol last night and was prescribed flagyl today do you need to wait before taking it so the alcohol in your system will be gone?

My husband was in the ER for C. Difficle and drank beer four daysprior tobeinghospitalized. The ER Doc asked him if he has drank alcohol anytime in the past week. He told her that he did 4 days prior and she said it still may cause problems when taking Flagyl, even though it was so many days before, because there still may be trace amts. in his system- They had to give him thefirst dose at the hospital to make sure he didn't become violently ill. He didn't but you might if you just frank it last night. I would tell the Dr. exactly how much you drank, as they may want to change your prescription...
