Can i consume alcohol when im taking the following drugs.?!


Question: Can i consume alcohol when im taking the following drugs..?
"Flucloxacillin" 500mg 4 times a day and "Phenoxymethyl Penicillin" 250mg 4 times a day.

I was wondering if i could have alcohol with these tablets or if there would be a bad side effect of mixing these.

I heard that when you drink and your on any sort of anti biotic you just get drunk rather easily but i want to know about health risks.

-Thank you

- Please only answer if you know dont just say DONT MIX ALCOHOL AND DRUGS FULL STOP...

Answers:
Alcohol will decrease of possible make the anti-biotices uneffecive. So if what ever you are taking these meds for is important for you to recover from, them I would hold off on the alcahol. But if it's that important to drink...(decisions to make here) then that's up to you. Just know though...that when you take antibiotics for an illness, there is a reason docs tell you to take them until they are all gone....even if you feel better. As sometimes there can still be the reminatnts of the bacteria that you have and the antibiotics start to help dispose of it. When you stop, then the bacteria can come back unresistant to the antibiotic that is best to treat it. Then you can end up with a worse case of what ever you have and not be able to treat it.
So what's important to you.? Getting better or partying over the weekend. Stick with a straight club soda with a lime, no one will know the difference as to whether you are drinking a drink with alcohol in it or not. Or be really cool and tell them you are taing antibiotics and can't drink this weekend I thin most of your firends will recognize you as a responsible person. Health Question & Answer

Do not drink alcoholic beverages with antibiotics, ever. It kills the action of the antibiotics. Either drink or take antibiotics. Both those are antibiotics.
