Can I Smoke Marijuana Without Ruining The Effectiveness Of Ofloxacin?

Hi there, I'm being treated for chlamydia with an antibiotic called Ofloxacin. I was wondering since I can't drink that if it is possible that I can smoke marijuana without ruining the effectiveness of my antibiotics. It's been 2 days and I feel alot better so far.



Thanks.

Hi,

Marijuana has no interaction with ofloxacin and will not counter the effectiveness of the antibiotics. But it is not safe to consume because of the numerous adverse effects.

Best wishes.
