How Long After Finishing Antibiotics Can I Have A Drink
13 Answers
Yesterday I started a 7 day course of Erythromicin (sp) for an ear infection. My last dose is due to be taken at midday on Christmas Day :(
When can I have a drink? I know a lot of people drink whilst on antibiotics, but I’d rather not.

Erythromycin 's half-life (the amount of time it takes for half of the drug to leave the body) is 1.5 hours. The basic rule is that a drug is totally eliminated after 5 half-lives so 7.5 hours and for all pharmacologi cal purposes the drug is gone.

from the nHS website "There's no specific warning to stop drinking alcohol while taking erythromycin, but there's some evidence that alcohol may slow down or delay the medicine working. You might want to stop drinking alcohol or limit how much you drink while you're taking erythromycin."
