Antibiotics are organic compounds that are synthesized by bacteria and fungi. Preparations of this series are capable of suppressing or killing other microorganisms.
Quite often in medical practice apply antibiotics penicillin series. These include a well-known pharmacological agent called Amoxicillin.
It is an antibacterial drug of widespectrum of action, is characterized by a bactericidal effect on staphylococci and streptococci, Neisseria, Shigella, Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella. When it is combined with the drug "Metronidazole" bactericidal activity against Helicobacter pylori, bacterium, which is considered to be the main etiological factor in the development of peptic ulcer, is traced.
So, it is the allergic reaction to antibioticsis the most common side effect in the treatment of various pathologies. This disappointing statistics is worsened by patients who do not comply with the dosage or take these drugs incorrectly, combining them with the intake of alcoholic beverages, which in some cases leads to serious disorders in the body.
The drug "Amoxicillin" and alcohol
The instructions to the drug indicate that whenThe simultaneous treatment of metronidazole to consume alcohol is not recommended. This is due to the fact that the combination of an antibiotic and the drug "Metronidazole" can provoke nausea and vomiting, which are significantly intensified with the simultaneous use of even a small amount of beer or wine, not to mention more strong drinks. But is it possible that under other conditions the "Amoxicillin" and alcohol are a safe combination?
It should immediately be said that ethyl alcoholis able to change the pharmacological action of any drug - to strengthen it, inhibit or completely distort it. This also applies to antibiotics. When combined with this alcohol, the risk of developing allergies increases several times.
It all depends on the individual characteristics of patients and the presence of their increased sensitization (sensitivity).
Severe allergic manifestations in the form ofanaphylactic shock can develop in a few minutes after the simultaneous administration of this drug and any alcoholic beverage. In this case, the patient develops skin itching, hives, Quincke's edema, severe bronchospasm and a sharp drop in blood pressure, which can threaten the lives of patients. Therefore, in cases where the "Amoxicillin" is prescribed, alcohol should become a strict taboo at the time of treatment.
In addition, in the form of side effects,Serum syndrome or drug fever occur. These pathologies are quite difficult. Given these facts, we can say with confidence that the drug "Amoxicillin" and alcohol - an unacceptable and very dangerous combination.
