Most of the ingredients contained in beer are ethanol, which will be converted into acetaldehyde after entering the body, and generally acetaldehyde will be converted into water and carbon dioxide under the action of enzymes and excreted from the body, but cephalosporin is an antibiotic drug, which will inhibit the discharge of acetaldehyde branches, so that acetaldehyde stays in the body for a long time, endangering the health of the body.

2. What happens if you eat cephalosporin after drinking beer

After drinking beer, eating cephalosporin, it is easy to have acetaldehyde poisoning, which generally makes people's face and whole body ** flushing, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, chest tightness, palpitations, blurred vision and other symptoms, and in severe cases, life-threatening symptoms such as blood pressure drop, dyspnea, shock, etc., and taking cephalosporin is not suitable whether it is before or after drinking.

3. What should I do if I drink alcohol after eating cephalosporin?

Generally, after eating cephalosporin and drinking, the human body will react very quickly, generally 5-10 minutes will appear in the symptoms of physical discomfort, and the reaction will last for 30 minutes to several hours, so after eating cephalosporin, you should go to the hospital immediately for examination, as soon as possible.

The cephalosporin consumed directly in the human body is metabolized relatively quickly, and it generally only takes 24 hours to be fully excreted from the body, and you can drink alcohol at this time, but if your liver function is not good and the metabolism is relatively slow, you can drink it a week later to ensure health and avoid poisoning.

Drinking beer first and then eating cephalosporin can cause poisoning.

When alcohol is metabolized in the body, it can be converted into acetaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase, which will be converted into acetic acid under the catalysis of acetaldehyde deenzyme, and later converted into water and carbon dioxide. When the wine enters the body and is converted into acetaldehyde by alcohol decyyanase, the cephalosporin inhibits the activity of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, resulting in the inability of acetaldehyde to continue to degrade, causing a large amount of accumulation in the body.

In addition to the most serious fatality of eating cephalosporin after drinking, facial flushing, conjunctival hyperemia, blurred vision, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, sweating, dry mouth, etc. are all symptoms of disulfiram-like reactions.
