Publication types Clinical Trial. We also explore the effects of alcohol on the immune system. Not all antibiotics interact with alcohol. Depending on the type of antibiotic someone is taking, doctors may recommend limiting or avoiding alcohol intake.
Alcohol interacts directly with some antibiotics and can cause dangerous side effects or make them less effective at removing bacteria. When the body breaks down alcohol, it also produces acetaldehyde, which can cause nausea. Many people experience stomach or digestive side effects when taking antibiotics.
Drinking alcohol while taking antibiotics may increase this feeling of nausea due to the combined side effects. Although nausea is a common side effect of both antibiotics and alcohol, not all people will experience this when using both at the same time. The tetracycline class of antibiotics includes doxycycline and minocycline.
This class can treat a wide range of bacterial infections. People should not drink alcohol while taking doxycycline because this may reduce the effects of the antibiotic.
Doxycycline may interact with alcohol. Liver toxicity is a rare side effect of taking minocycline. Since alcohol can also have negative effects on the liver, people should avoid mixing alcohol with minocycline. Linezolid belongs to the oxazolidinone class of antibiotics. Doctors use oxazolidinones to treat abdominal, skin, lung, and urinary tract infections.
As well as its antibacterial effect, linezolid reduces the action of enzymes called monoamine oxidase-A and monoamine oxidase-B. Monoamine oxidases break down tyramine. Tyramine is a substance present in tap beers and red wine, among other products. When people drink tap beers and red wine with linezolid, the amount of tyramine in the blood may rise. People may experience the following mild, moderate, or severe side effects after drinking these types of alcohol while taking oxazolidinones:.
People should avoid red wine and tap beers when taking linezolid. The other side effects are abdominal pain, diarrhea, headaches, and indigestion. A few patients may experience no discomfort or side effects at all. If you are facing a persistent side effect, visit your doctor immediately. Do not take clarithromycin during your pregnancy phase.
Studies show that pregnant women face miscarriages when taking this drug. In a few instances, your doctor might suggest you take the antibiotic if its benefits outweigh the risks that it brings along. Consult your doctor before taking any medications in this phase to avoid health hazards to the fetus.
Both drugs belong to different classes of antibiotics. Clarithromycin is a broader spectrum antibiotic with fewer side effects. It is safe to use for penicillin-resistant patients. On the other hand, Amoxicillin is cost-effective and has a low drug interaction rate. Both the drugs show similar efficacy in treating bacterial infections, with only the doses varying. You can safely take clarithromycin either on an empty stomach or after eating. However, it is better if you take the drug after having your meal.
In the case of a tablet, do not crush or chew it. Ingest the pill as a whole in the dosage prescribed by your doctor. To have all your medicinal queries regarding clarithromycin and other drugs answered, consult our experts at Yashoda Hospitals. Book an appointment with our doctors today.
