Should Alcohol Be Avoided While On Cefdinir?
I am taking Cefdinir, 600 mg daily. Are there any foods or drink that should be avoided while taking this medication? E.g., avoid alcoholic beverages, any antacids that contain magnesium or aluminum, etc. Specifically, should I avoid drinking alcoholic beverages while taking this medication? Thanks!

For full therapeutic effect of cephalosporin group antibiotic it is better to avoid alcohol drinking to avoid any interaction between two..
After your problem solved and after completion of antibiotic course you can drink alcohol but within safe limit if having habit
Take care
Consult physician for examination
