What Happens If You DRINK On ANTIBIOTICS? DEBUNKED

Posted on October 26, 2022 By

A study found that most people believe that mixing antibiotics with alcohol will either stop the medication working or make you sick. But what really happens?

Let me set the theme you’re in your last week of a course of antibiotics and there’s a big event coming up in your social calendar maybe a wedding a birthday table for one at nando’s whatever it may be it means heading out on the town for a night of partying but unfortunately you’re likely to be the only sober person in the bar because if you have a nice cool

Alcoholic beverage it will stop your antibiotics from working and most likely make you sick a study at a london clinic found that 81 percent of patients believe that this combination would stop antibiotics from working and 71 percent thought it were cool side effects but how true is this does it work the same for all antibiotics or is it just a bunch of lies to get

You to cut down on your alcohol intake i’m sure this is the once and we’re here to sort the truth of the myth and the facts from the misconceptions after penicillin was first discovered by alexander fleming in 1928 it was soon used to treat soldiers infected wounds during world war two however shortly after they found it extremely effective at clearing up sexually

Transmitted infections to certificate the clap or gonorrhea according to eric sidebottom from the university of oxford this presented the military with a problem with limited supplies which soldiers should receive the drug those with the clap or those with horrific injuries churchill reportedly decided to use it to best military advantage ie give it to those with

A clap to get them back on the frontlines more quickly with it now well establishes a cure for sdi’s it became widely prescribed in venereal disease clinics after world war two now this is the point in time where the idea of no alcohol came into play while on the course of antibiotics patients carrying an sti would still be infectious so they were told to stay

Off alcohol doctors feared their patients would get drunk and jump into bed with someone at the first opportunity spreading their infectious love juices all over town by advising patients not to drink doctors were giving the medication a chance to work before any infections could be passed so the advice was actually more psychological than medicinal this advice

The fencin pass through the generations as become a sort of tradition as part of standard medical practice so next time you worry about getting tipsy on your pills you can blame your randi grandparents however all of this doesn’t mean you should go out all night and get hammered while you’re on antibiotics drinking alcohol at the same time as taking medication can

Increase the time it takes for your liver to process the drugs and therefore slows down your recovery period some antibiotics can also cause side effects like dizziness and drowsiness so this may increase the annunciation effects of alcohol but it won’t actually stop your antibiotics from working however of all the hundreds of antibiotics are available there are

Five types that really should be avoided with our coal only two of these are commonly prescribed metronidazole is used to treat dental and gynecological infections as well as the tree clostridium difficile i an infection picked up in hospitals the other is tinnitus all which is used for similar infections as well as to remove harmful bacteria from the guts the

Combination of either of these medications and alcohol can make you pretty sick it prevents your body from breaking down alcohol properly this leads to a buildup of a toxin in the blood called acetaldehyde and can result in vomiting severe headaches chest pain and increased heart rate and breathlessness i’m sure we can all agree that none of that sounds particularly

Good for you and although a study in 2003 disputed this it is still widely considered to cause these side effects metronidazole is actually closely related to antabuse which is a drug used to treat alcoholism by making alcoholics nauseous when they consume alcohol so it’s best to stay away from the liquor if you’re on those unless you want to paint the walls of

Your local boozer with your breakfast lunch and dinner to be on the safe side you should also avoid alcohol for 48 hours after finishing your course of metronidazole and 72 hours after tinnitus all so i hope that cleared up a few misconceptions but before you go there’s another school of thought about the whole myth came from during world war two penicillin was in

Such short supply the medics would reuse as much as possible from patients pee and if the patient is drunk beer it would increase the volume of urine and make it harder to obtain the penicillin so a ban on beer was put in place so they could recycle as much of the medication as possible but we can’t go debunking myths with urban legends that’s just a nice slight

Mix anyway i hope you learned something new and if you liked what you saw them and got plenty more coming up so subscribe and you won’t miss out on those if you have any suggestions for upcoming videos please leave a comment as we’d love to hear them thanks for watching the effects of exposure to space differ greatly depending on which movie you’re watching
