Metronidazole and worrying

3 replies

Hello everyone this might be silly but I'm panicking
I am 33f 5.6 and currently taking 500mg of metronidazole 3x a day. I'm very aware of not drinking alcohol and I've been very strict about this. However this morning I had marmalade for breakfast I later found out it had cointreau in and now I am in a state of panic as I have emetephobia. I am feeling sick but I'm not sure if that's my anxiety. I had the antibiotics around 3 hours ago along with my marmalade. Would I have been sick by now do you think?
I really hope someone can help

I don't think there's enough Cointreau in marmalade to cause a problem. In any case, it would be out of your system by now.
Think you'll be OK.

Feeling sick is probably the most of the reaction you're going to have, luckily, due to how small the amount of alcohol there is in the jam (and it could be anxiety related nausea, anyhow).

Make sure you only have alcohol free mouthwash.

I am also so frightened of vomiting. I was on those antibiotics and realised my shampoo said alcohol on the label. I was terrified it would soak through my scalp and I'd be sick. I was, of course, fine - as you will be. But phobias are irrational so I understand why you're worrying.
