Is drinking alcohol tonight after flagyl later darkness ok ??
Answers: From: http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/ate/medicines...
Could you please give me some information on the antibiotic Metronidazole and why it is not advisable to drink alcohol when taking this drug?
Answer
Metronidazole is believed to enjoy the ability to block the body's breakdown of alcohol, main to an accumulation of a substance call acetaldehyde in the blood stream.
Theoretically, this may go on within 10 minutes of ingestion of alcohol and may finishing several hours. It is said to be characterised by intense flushing, breathlessness, headache, increased or irregular heart rate, low blood pressure, nausea and vomiting.
This possible reaction is insecure because it is so unpredictable and may be extremely severe. Although there have been little contained by the way of published pharmacological evidence to support this interaction near alcohol, a review of the literature between 1969 and 1982 reports cases involving eight patients, four of which were serious, including one disappearance.
So in summary, although the reported risk is thought to be extremely small and maybe not very capably established in certainty, caution should be exercised both beside traditional alcoholic beverages and spirits and also with low alcohol beers and wines, which may possibly provoke a counterattack when consumed in sufficient quantity.
Yours sincerely

You should never mix any drug and alcohol. You don't know how it will effect you instinctively. It is dumb and irresponsible to do this and then ask if it is okay. You know it isn't or you wouldn't ask. Finish the meds, drink a cold drink and draw from high rotten of good condition. You don't need alcohol to discern good.
