Question: If you always avoid alcohol while taking antibiotics? A: No, but bad interactions can occur with a small number of antibiotics. Our expert: If you are one who loves alcohol while on antibiotics may be a little spoiler. Finally, juice and water is not the first thing that comes to mind when you are invited to Christmas drinks. But antibiotics are really a pretext to stay away from drinking? It depends on which antibiotic you are taking, says Brisbane clinical pharmacist Dr Geraldine Moses. There are proven bad interaction between alcohol and antibiotics, but this only happens with specific multiple antibiotics, Moses says. When this decay occurs alcohol is interrupted, leading to accumulation of a chemical called acetaldehyde, which has a number of impressive effects on the body. "Blood vessels in the skin dilate, so you go red as beets. Blood is given from the central parts of the body, so your blood pressure drops, and most people in obmorok. And acetaldehyde stimulates the emetic center in the brain so you feel very ill and often vomiting. It does not look good. "
For all other antibiotics, any interaction with alcohol "theoretical at best," says Moses. While some people say alcohol may reduce the effectiveness of antibiotics, there is little evidence to support this. Even if there was alcohol in the body breaks down relatively quickly. So, drink a glass or two at dinner is unlikely to significantly violate the antibiotic taken daily for five to seven days. And the claim of antibiotics will make you get drunk faster, without foundation, as well. But if you are taking antibiotics, because tissue damage some say bad feed or muscle tears Moses warns alcohol impairs healing by limiting blood supply, so best avoided in the short term, in any case. And antibiotics can have various side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, agitation and bowel disorders, which can be made worse alcohol. There are only three antibiotics that actually bear the risk of unpleasant "fainting and vomiting" reaction (the so-called "reaction dysulfiramu) in combination with alcohol. They are visible in the name of metronidazole, tinidizole trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and. They are sold under various brand names, best known to Flagyl, Fasigyn and Bactria, respectively. You do not need much to drink to be compromised, the reaction reported after only 170mls of beer. It would be wise to err towards caution and avoid alcohol and foods containing alcohol, such as mouth washes, liquid herbal remedies and cough / cold, taking these antibiotics. "Sensitivity to alcohol really varies between people," Moses. "It's probably better to be cautious than cavalier".
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, although less widely used two other commonly prescribed for infections in the gums or intestine. There's a good chance that you get one, if you drink water infected total lambliosis parasites, for example. They also often provide for the treatment of infections after birth, both natural and caesarean section. Fortunately, you do not need to carry out criminal drug names in memory, as they always come with the famous warning, or on a label or leaflet information for consumers (which can not be fun, but it is important to read). But you will not find a warning about mixing alcohol with other antibiotics such as pencillin simply because they are not needed. "Of course, there are many drugs strattera 40mg that are alcohol prevention," Moses says. "But with most antibiotics, frankly, it does not matter."
Thus, although there can be many reasons to refuse a glass of champers at the office Christmas party reduce chances are you will limit yourself to karaoke For example, in most cases, being on antibiotics is not one of them.
