Since it is a small amount of drink, there are no serious problems in taking benzetacil or amoxicillin with alcoholic beverage, although the ideal is to avoid ingesting alcohol while taking antibiotics.
The alcoholic beverage increases urine output and may accelerate the excretion of the antibiotic, which may render the prescribed drug interval inadequate.
For example, if the patient is taking benzetacil, amoxicillin or any other antibiotic every 8 hours, it may be that after 8 hours he no longer has enough in his bloodstream if he has drunk alcohol.
In addition, the ingestion of alcoholic beverage with antibiotics may reduce alcohol withdrawal time, increasing its toxicity in the brain, liver and digestive tract. It can even cause vomiting and thus prevent absorption of the next doses of the medicine.
Another reason to avoid this combination is that, like antibiotics, the alcohol is also metabolised in the liver, overloading the organ and damaging the processing of the drug.
For more information about drinking alcoholic beverages with benzetacil or amoxicillin, talk to the doctor who prescribed the medicine.
