can you drink on augmentin

It is generally advised to avoid drinking alcohol while taking Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate). Although there is no known direct interaction between Augmentin and alcohol, drinking alcohol can increase the risk of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and liver problems. Additionally, alcohol can weaken the immune system, potentially making it harder for Augmentin to effectively fight off the infection. For these reasons, it is best to avoid alcohol during the course of Augmentin treatment and consult with a doctor for personalized advice on safe alcohol consumption while on the medication.
