No. Marijuana, if anything, will help reduce any feelings of nausea, indigestion or other discomforts antibiotics can cause.

Can you take bactrim and smoke weed?

Drinking alcoholic beverages will not affect the efficacy of most antibiotics. However, chronic alcohol use and binge drinking affect the liver and may cause changes in the way some drugs, including antibiotics such as doxycycline (Vibramycin, Doryx), are metabolized. In such cases, a higher dose of antibiotic may be required to achieve the same treatment benefit. Marijuana use is not recommended while on antibiotics for numerous reasons. Specifically, marijuana use with antibiotics can interfere with the absorption and metabolism of the antibiotics in the gastrointestinal tract by affecting the enzymes needed to absorb the antibiotics. This can slow down the amount of time it takes the antibiotics to begin working properly to fight the infection. Marijuana use can also slow down the healing process of the body, which results in a longer recovery time. The way marijuana slows down the healing process is that THC the main chemical component of marijuana is fat soluble so it becomes absorbed by the white blood cells in the body. The white blood cells, which have a lipid (fat) component, are your body's "fighter" cells that destroy "bad" bacteria by eating it. However, when THC becomes absorbed by the lipid component of the white blood cells these cells cannot function properly to destroy the "bad" bacteria. If the antibiotics cannot be absorbed properly and your white blood cells cannot fight the infection because of the marijuana use, then your chances of a quick recovery from an illness are decreased.

What if you smoke marijuana while having chlamydia?

CDC treatment guidlines list possible treatments for non-pregnant patient as azithromycin, doxycycline, erythromycin, ofloxacin, and levofloxacin. Pregnant women may also use amoxicillin. There are no known drug interactions between alcohol and any of these antibiotics. Drinking alcohol will not affect how well treatment for chlamydia works. I'm not sure of the origin of this urban myth, but maybe some people confuse these medications with metronidazole, which is used for treatment of trichomonas and bacterial vaginosis, and which can cause serious nausea and vomiting if taken with alcohol. Any standard prescribing reference can confirm the lack of drug interactions between alcohol and these medications.
