Drinking alcohol while taking Ceftazidime Injection: what to do
Common questions
Can you drink alcohol while taking Ceftazidime Injection?
Ceftazidime injection has no known direct interaction with alcohol, but it is best to avoid drinking while you feel unwell. Alcohol can worsen nausea or dizziness associated with antibiotic treatment. If you also take metronidazole or tinidazole, avoid alcohol during treatment and for 48 or 72 hours afterward, respectively. Ask your pharmacist or prescribing clinician whether your other medicines or health conditions require avoiding alcohol. If you already had a drink, do not skip or delay your ceftazidime injection; continue your prescribed schedule.
