According to Holdin, alcohol has a depressant effect on antibiotics – it weakens the effect of the drug, so you will have to choose another drug, since the current antibiotic will lose its effectiveness. Additionally, alcohol can significantly increase the side effects of antibiotics, including affecting the liver.
“Side effects” may include an allergy to the drug, after which the doctor may adjust the treatment.
“Due to alcoholic beverages, the effect of antibiotics on the microorganisms that the drug fights may be weakened. As a result, it is possible for a person to use some antibiotics but not get a therapeutic effect,” said Vitaly Holdin.
