Metronidazole and Alchohol

Hi

I am on the above antibiotics at the moment and have been strongly advised to avoid alcohol. Fair enough - I have promised myself a reward on Saturday night. The last pill to be taken is Saturday morning. Since then I have heard it needs a few days to clear through the system. Does anyone know more about the effects of this drug and alcohol.

Yes I read that they can cause really bad vomiting too. I've not had any nausea myself though but my appetite is very low . Oh well, guess I will loose a bit of weight if nothing else.

Thanks for the info FP

Thanks for all the input, mine is for a dental abscess too. Will definitely be avoiding the bottle over the weekend then.
