Is Smoking Marijuana Safe While On Antibiotics For Cellulitis?
I recently had my nose pierced but developed cellulitus around it. I went to the doctor and was prescribed the antibiotic AUGMENTIN and a cream to put on it. I was wondering if smoking marijuana would halt any effect of the antibiotic or possibly slow or make my condition worse. I have read about marijuana now being considered for it s antibiotic properties against MRSA but I don t know about in the form of smoking so I would like to ask a professional basically, Can I still continue to smoke? Your input is appreciated. Thank you.
Aseptic measure has not been taken can apply providone iodine. Marijuana smoking will have bad effect. It can take augment in if advised by treating doctor. Take aseptic measure.
