can you drink on keflex

You can drink alcohol while taking Keflex (cephalexin), as there is no direct interaction between alcohol and this antibiotic. However, drinking alcohol may increase certain side effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and indigestion. Alcohol can also weaken the immune system, which might slow down your recovery from infection. For these reasons, it is generally advisable to avoid or limit alcohol consumption during treatment with Keflex to allow your body to heal effectively. If you choose to drink, moderation is key, and it is best to consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice, especially if you have heavy alcohol use or other health concerns.
