Does marijuana affect the healing process of antibiotics??


Question: I am taking an antibiotic in injection because I had a flu and a fever about two days ago. Right now I feel fine but still I have to continue with the antibiotic treatment for about two more days. I want to know in smoking marijuana in a small dose will affect the antibiotic's effect and if it will cause me any harm due to the combination with the antibiotic.
Answers: No
If your flu was respiratory, common sense dictates that smoking is probably not the best thing for you until all symptoms are gone. That said, no, it won't interfere with your antibiotic, but maybe try making cookies or brownies? Some folks claim bronchodilator effects, though, which might be a reason to try smoking. OTOH, for a stomach flu smoking might work wonders. For an ordinary common cold I've found it helps dry my nose. Same principal, I'd guess, as cotton mouth.
no, it won't affect it at all. marijuana is not a drug, like alcohol is.
