Drinking and Antibotics

antibiotics are essentially foreign entities entering your body. Alcohol is a foreign entity entering your body. Your body reacts to these things like it has been poisoned. Vomitting, unconsciousness, and blacking out should not only be considered, but expected.

KRins, by that logic, food is a foreign entity entering your body, and vomiting, unconsciousness, and blacking out should not only be considered, but expected. Foreign entities are not necessarily a bad thing. There are bad mixes that are to be avoided; alcohol and medication should almost never be combined, because both alter your body chemistry. Either alone in the correct amounts can be beneficial.

I'm pretty sure they forgot to put the warning label on my script' date=' but a word of advice for anyone else, Don't drink and take antibotics, I'm pretty sure they make you hurl. :mad:[/quote']

That depends entirely on what antibiotics you are using. There are certain antibiotics that cause what is called a disulfiram reaction with alcohol which causes severe gastrointestinal discomfort among other things.

Just as an example: cefamandole, cefoperazone, cefotetan, and metronidazole

Of course, all oral medication have a chance for nausea, vomitting and diarrhea as well, which, if you have drank enough alcohol can be enough to push ya a lil further than normal I suppose. But, likely, it was a disulfiram reaction considering your mention of that amount of vomitting with so little alcohol

White Russian' date=' Big Lebowski fan?[/quote']

Never seen it, and it was my first time having a white russian, mostly I do shots of Ciroc, or Grey Goose, or I drink Heinken or Fosters. Come to think of it, most of my liquor intake has been straight shots, but I do drink screwdrivers fairly often, if i'm drinking a mixed drink.

Penicillin, Penicillin VK 250 mg, one every six hours, to be exact. I need a root canal apparently, part of my tooth broke off, and its straight to the nerve dude said. But, at this moment, I have no health insurance, so I'm having to look at temple, upenn, and einstien to see who is going to be cheapest, for thier students to use me as a guina pig :rolleyes:

Penicillin shouldn't be having any enormous effects in regards to alcohol. Penicillin's side effects are mostly viewed in the hyper sensitivity (allergic reaction) stand point with gastrointestinal effects and rash coming in behind it.

Did he prescribe this for prophylaxis of any infection? 250 mg four times daily is a little know, with an active infection I'd use 400 mg q6. But penicillin is a good choice for infections stemming from the mouth bacterial flora, I can think of some better but the guy might be wanting to make sure hes not adding to any resistant organisms

And....

Wouldn't you rather use the more expensive one? I think cheap in this case, may be an indicator of quality. :P

I see this post heading straight for the *not meant for this forum* category that we all love to reach.

Stop it.

Hrrrm, it is the OOC Forum, Here's an idea, instead of dictating what should or should not be posted because you find it offensive, if any topic SEEMS like it might be offensive to you, just stop reading the damn threads, instead of whining all the time. :mad:
