Can I drink alcohol if I am taking ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, or amoxicillin?
Social drinking of alcohol (fewer than 2 drinks a day) should not cause any side effects unless you already have a liver problem. However, drinking too much alcohol can cause the medicine to leave your body faster, which will decrease the effectiveness of the medicine. If you drink more than two drinks a day, you should tell your doctor so that different medicines can be prescribed. The ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, or amoxicillin I am taking makes me feel itchy all over. Is there anything I can do to help this? Rashes that appear suddenly or do not go away after a few days may be signs of an allergic reaction. You should see your doctor immediately. The ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, or amoxicillin gave me an allergic reaction and I stopped taking it. What should I do? If the allergic reaction was severe or rapid, you should notify your doctor before taking another antibiotic. Your doctor will prescribe a different antibiotic that will kill the bacteria without causing an allergic reaction
