Can you drink alcohol while taking Ceftobiprole Medocaril Injection?
Last updated September 7, 2026.
**You should avoid alcohol while receiving ceftobiprole medocaril injection, although its prescribing information lists no specific alcohol interaction.** The absence of a listed interaction does not establish that drinking during treatment is safe for you. This IV antibiotic can cause nausea, vomiting, and dizziness, and alcohol can worsen nausea or dizziness. Your infection, other medicines, and current symptoms affect the advice your clinician gives you. Choose alcohol-free drinks and keep your infusions on schedule.
What to do
- **Choose alcohol-free drinks:** Avoid alcohol while you are receiving treatment and feeling unwell.
- **Check your medicines:** Ask your pharmacist to review all your medicines for alcohol interactions.
- **Keep your infusion schedule:** Do not skip or delay a dose so you can drink.
- **Report symptoms:** Tell your care team if you develop vomiting or dizziness.
- **Ask when to resume:** Your prescribing clinician can advise based on your recovery and other medicines.
