Will smoking marijuana interfere with the effectiveness of antibiotics?

Answer 1

I don't think antibiotics will help clean marijuana out of your system. If anything THC or Tetrahydrocannabinol, in Marijuana will effect how the body absorbs antibiotics. So you see, I don't think you will have much joy there sorry.

Answer 2

In some cases, Yes.

When it comes to respiratory ailments, smoking of any kind will work adversely toward healing, whether antibiotics are being used or not. This also includes ailments involving the mouth, throat, or lungs.

In non-respiratory cases, marijuana is unlikely to impede on healing.

The best course of action is to limit or eliminate smoking of any kind until the healing process has finished, and ask a medical professional if you have any additional questions.

Answer 3

bro I'm looking for the same answer to this question but this is the second time as we speak that i have been smoking consistently through my antibiotic medication and noticing that I feel the sickness lingers on a little more but not too badly. Also, I don't know if it this is because i also have Asthma or not but i have noticed that everytime i get sick now i have a really bad cough with phlegm an all that good shite, again not too bad to get over with a little will power. This is my own take on this whole situation give or take whatever you choose man hopefully someone more specialized in this area can give you a better answer :))

Nah, but if it's for a chest infection or something to do with your respiratory system, i would wait 'till you're better before smoking up. otherwise, you're sweet.
