There are some antibiotics with which you should not consume alcohol, but there are also some with which you can. Metronidazole is the antibiotic that you really have to be wary of with alcohol.

It is best to consult your doctor about whether alcohol can be taken with your medication. If you are unsure, avoid alcohol until you have completed your course.

Can you consume alcohol while taking apo-pen vk penicillin for an abscess?

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.

Can you drink alcohol while taking By Mycin?

I have been advised by my GP that it is possible to consume some alcohol while taking By-Mycin, but only if the drug is taken in the morning and the alcohol consumed in the evening. I believe that By-Mycin is an antibiotic and, as with most antibiotics, would have it's ability to perform impaired by the consumption of alcohol. Taking the drug in the morning and alcohol in the evening would give the drugs a reasonable time to have been consumed and circulated by the body before being affected by the alcohol. It is not recommended to take By-Mycin in the evening anyway, so this should fit in nicely with the consumption of alcohol (unless you are an alcoholic).

Can you Mix beer and penicillin?

Alcohol can reduce the effectiveness of, or even react adversely with many pharmaceutical drugs, but the old myths and misconceptions have been dispelled concerning penicillin, and alcohol consumption in moderation should have no major ill-effects while taking a course of penicillin, unless your doctor tells you to abstain. Alcohol can effect or reduce the functionality of other parts of the body that may have a negative effect on whatever your current medical problem might be.
