Hi,

Azithromycin does not have direct interactions with alcohol. This means that most people could have a moderate amount of alcohol while taking the drug without any serious problems.

In some persons, the adverse effects like dizziness, nausea and vomiting may be increased with alcohol use. Kindly restrict your alcohol use to moderate amounts and avoid driving while under the influence.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
