Avoid mixing amoxicillin and alcohol. Alcohol can interfere with amoxicillin’s effectiveness, potentially reducing its ability to fight infection.
Combining them may increase the risk of experiencing side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These digestive issues are already possible with amoxicillin alone, and alcohol exacerbates them.
Furthermore, alcohol can worsen liver problems. Amoxicillin is processed by the liver, and alcohol adds extra stress to this organ. This combination can lead to liver damage in susceptible individuals.
While the severity varies depending on factors like dosage and individual tolerance, even moderate alcohol consumption alongside amoxicillin is generally discouraged. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice on managing medication and alcohol consumption during your treatment.
