One to grow on....

Can I drink while taking antibiotics?

For many years, physicians and pharmacists were telling folks to avoid beverage alcohol while taking antibiotics, especially penicillin derivatives and cephalosporins. This was based on studies of soldiers taking antibiotics and then drinking. It was discovered that their infections were not improving. It was discovered years later than no interaction had actually occured, but that the soldiers weren't taking their antibiotics as prescribed!

Silly soldiers take your meds!!!!
