Is Wine Consumption Safe While On Trimethoprim?
Question: Is it OK to drive k a glass of wine while taking Trimetoprim?
Brief Answer:
It's okay but shouldn't be a new routine!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.
A glass of wine while on trimethoprim is okay if this happens very sparingly. However, you shouldn't make this a habit as regular intake of antibiotics can cause drugs to be less effective because of accelerated clearance by the body's system.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
