I am takeing clindamycin hcl 150 mg and was wondering if i can drink alcohol while I am on this medication?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

alcohol is not a good idea when on antibiotics or other specific medications
it interferes with the absorption and effectiveness of the med and can cause the infection to either heal much more slowly or sometimes renders the med ineffective
clindamycin is used for stubborn infections not the run of the mill ones
rule of thumb
alcohol and meds do not mix
the infection will heal faster without alcohol
can't you wait the week to 10 days then drink ?
