The fact remains that there is no contraindication to taking alcohol with ofloxacin.
if you are on metronidazole or ornidazole along with it, then there may be a problem.
There is a possibility of severe nausea.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information helps you. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
