You should not take cephalosporins after drinking alcohol

Inside the hospital, we often come across patients who got cold after getting drunk and then took cephalosporin antibiotics on their own, thankfully he did not have a withdrawal sulfur-like reaction, otherwise it was life-threatening. Although not all cephalosporins can not be taken after drinking, but as a patient, you certainly can not take them when you are not sure which ones can be taken, in case of drug reactions, which are life-threatening. Alcohol and cephalosporin’s methylthiotetrazolium group will occur withdrawal sulfur-like reaction, clinical manifestations of conjunctival congestion, blurred vision, facial flushing, also accompanied by nausea, vomiting, dizziness and other symptoms, in serious cases can be life-threatening. And if cephalosporins are taken after drinking, induce vomiting as early as possible, drink a lot of warm water to promote the excretion of the drug, stop using cephalosporins and drinking alcohol in time, observe what changes there are, and once discomfort occurs, send the patient to the hospital immediately to tell the doctor about drinking alcohol and taking cephalosporins, so that the doctor can rescue and deal with it in time. If you do have heavy cold symptoms and need to use antibiotics, you can visit the hospital and avoid self-medication, you should take antibiotics under the guidance of a professional doctor. Every year, we hear from our colleagues in the emergency department that there are patients who take cephalosporin after drinking alcohol and then have a withdrawal sulfur-like reaction, which is very dangerous. We hope that those who read this science article will not make such a mistake again.
