Is Second Dosage Of Nyquil And Antibiotics Advisable Post Intake Of Alcohol?
I have a sinus infection. Earlier today around 10 PM, I made a drink of strawberry Fanta and a shot of vodka. I only drink a few sips so I probably had less than a half a shot of vodka. I stopped because I remembered that I had DayQuil and antibiotics in my system that I had taken around noon. It s now 2 AM, is it safe to take my second dose of NyQuil and anabiotic?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is safe to use second dose of both Dayquil and antibiotic.
The only interaction of alcohol is with those antibiotics which are metabolized by liver.
Alcohol increases the metabolism of those antibiotics and hence decreases its concentration.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ejaz Ahmad
