penicillin and working out

**logen32** · 03-19-2008, 04:07 PM

hey is it alright to work out while taking penicillin. My performance is fine so i can work out but I was just wondering if it effects me in a negative way.

Thanks

No it shouldnt. What are you taking it for? Sickness, Infection, STD? There are some instances where penicillin will lower your immune system in order to get rid of a localized infection. But IMO you are G2G

If you're feeling good no reason not to workout, i'd take it a little easier tho but maybe that's because antibiotics always make me feel a bit strange.

apparently i have strept throat. I did i physical last week and she said my throat was really inflamed, which was a bit weird considering i didnt feel anything. She cotton swabbed it and yea apparently i do have it so i started taking antibiotics for it.
