Generally it is not recommended, however have been able to find some information:
Antibiotics and alcohol
Only few classes of antibiotics should be avoided when drinking alcohol.
It is crucial to completely avoid drinking when taking the following antibiotics:
• Metronidazole – the side-effects include flushing, breathlessness, headache, increased or irregular heart rate, low blood pressure, nausea and vomiting.
• Tinidazole is chemically similar to metronidazole and may cause the same reaction
• Furazolidone (Furoxone),
• Griseofulvin (Grisactin),
• Antimalarial Quinacrine (Atabrine)…hope this helps?
