Penicillin and ayahuasca

[elru]

Is it safe to drink ayahuasca in the middle of taking a week of penicillin? I have a very minor tooth infection and my dentist is putting me on antibiotics to clear it up before he does the work.

Given the relative rarity of one needing to take antibiotics, plus the recent "DMT and antibiotics" thread account of a very bad experience mixing DMT and antibiotics (even though there is no biologic reason to believe there SHOULD be a contraindication in the mix)...you might want to wait until after your dental work is done.

If you have to ask, then perhaps you should indeed just wait...

As this is the "Nexus" (and it's apparently a nexus of coincidental fate) I might add that I'm ALSO currently taking some penicillin in preparation for a dental procedure. Good luck with yours

I was put on strong antibiotics (amoxicillin) recently, and the ayahuasca definitely made me feel better. I believe the other report had less to do with the aya and more to do with personal interactions.

Would definitely suggest boosting with probiotics though. Lots of live cultures!
