Alcohol and ceftibuten: the rules
Common questions
Can you drink alcohol while taking Ceftibuten?
Alcohol has no established direct interaction with ceftibuten, but drinking can worsen nausea or dizziness during treatment. Avoid alcohol while you feel sick or have side effects, and take every dose as prescribed. If you already had a drink, do not skip or double your next dose. Ask your pharmacist about alcohol restrictions from other medicines you take. Contact your clinician if you develop watery or bloody diarrhea or your infection symptoms worsen. There is no standard alcohol waiting period after ceftibuten alone.
