Drank Alcohol While Taking Sulfamethoxazole

My boyfriend drank while on sulfamethoxazole. Now he feels like poop. He is suffering. So my question is, what now? Should he go to the drs again? Wait it out? Obviously he isn't drinking tonight, lol but i also think he should wait to continue the prescription, once the alcohol is out of his system.... These are being taken for more of a "preventive" infection from a spider bite he got at work. So, once he's free of these nasty enhanced side effects he can then continue the prescription (he only took 2 pills, before consuming beer). Thanks in advance. Oh and if you are thinking of drinking while on this, i would think twice. Its equivalent to the flu.

Hello, Crystal! How are you?

Unless his doctor instructs otherwise, it really should just be a matter of waiting it out and he should be able to just continue taking them, as prescribed.

Drinking while taking them usually just worsens the side effects, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Did you end up drinking that night? I took one this morning and it’s froday and I really like to have a drink and relax at the end of the week. I just don’t want to do it if it ended up making you feel sick
