Is it safe to drink alcohol while on Augmentin?

Drinking excessively whilst on any prescripted drug is not usually recommended, yet for this particular drug risk is low. I would advise you to drink moderately but nonetheless if you were to overindulge, if you are otherwise a healthy person and not taking any other medication prohibiting telling you otherwise then risk is low. The main worry is that when you are drunk your defenses are weaker and thus the risk of slowing down the effectiveness of the drug is increased.
