Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Drinking alcohol in moderation does not normally cause a problem however, rarely you may have unpleasant side effects such as fast heartbeats, warmth or redness under your skin, tingly feeling, nausea, and vomiting. So if you have any of the symptoms listed after taking little alcohol with SMZ/ TMP then you must discontinue taking beer.
Cefepime and methadone do not interact with each other but you must not take grapefruit juice with methadone.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
