Pinamox Caps 500mg Amoxicillin

Updated

Hi, just wondered if it's safe to take alcohol with "pinamox caps 500mg amoxicillin".. I assumed it wasn't until I looked at the other medicine (a cough bottle) that I was prescribed by the same doctor.. It has ethanol (alcohol) in it. I finish big exams soon and have been looking forward to a cocktail party for ages.. If it's dangerous to take the course of tablets with alcohol then I'm considering not taking the tablets (three a day) for the day of the celebrations. Am I crazy?

There are always dangers if you mix a medication with alcohol, however, the general reason you are warned about it withy Amoxicillin is because it can worsen the side effects.

If you've been experiencing anything, like the dizziness, drowsiness and nausea, then the alcohol could make it worse, or it may cause them, if you haven't been experiencing it from the medication.

This could result in your having one drink, but reacting as if you'd have 2 and so on.

Thus, if you are going to drink, while taking the medication, you should make sure you are not driving or doing anything that could you put you, or anyone else, in danger.

I have read in the info leaflet that the appropriate dosage of pinamox 500 for gonorrhea is 3 grams. This would be 6 tablets.

I have been treated previously for STI and took 4 tablets as a single dose. I think I have been re-exposed.

Is it harmful to take 6 tablets at once or should I take the full 15 but over 5 days spaced evenly?
