Content: Other Antibiotics That Can Interact with Alcohol
In addition to clindamycin, there are a few other antibiotics that can interact with alcohol and cause serious side effects. You should not drink alcohol while taking antibiotics like: Metronidazole (Flagyl)
Tinidazole (Tindamax)
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra)
Combining alcohol with these antibiotics may result in a severe interaction. Metronidazole (Flagyl) and tinidazole (Tindamax) can cause drowsiness and along with alcohol, the interaction could be lethal. You should use extreme caution when drinking alcohol and the following antibiotics because of the potential of lethal interactions. Co-trimoxazole (Septrin): Can cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
Linezolid (Zyvox): Interacts with wine, beer, lager, and sherry
Doxycycline (Vibramycin, Oracea): If you have liver function issues avoid this antibiotic
Erythromycin (Eryc, Erythrocin): Alcohol use may reduce or delay this antibiotic’s effectiveness
Talk to Your Doctor
It is important to visit your physician or pharmacist and discuss your lifestyle including your use of alcohol before taking any antibiotic.
