Hello
Thank you for asking the question.
You are taking antibiotic clarithromycin. While on antibiotic clarithrimycin, you can drink alcohol. It does not affect effectiveness of antibiotic.
But alcohol drinking reduce energy and delay the recovery from illness
So my advice is better to avoid alcohol while on antibiotic. You can drink it after complete course of antibiotic.
Hope this will helpful to you.
