First, let's assume that you're talking about the Alka-Seltzer formulation with the most ingredients in it. In this case, I'm pretty sure it's Alka-Seltzer Plus (Severe Cold & Flu). It contains:

- Acetaminophen
- Chlorpheniramine
- Dextromethorphan
- Phenylephrine

I used the drug interactions checker on WebMD against the following antibiotics:

- Amoxicillin: No interactions found
- Azithromycin: No interactions found
- Clindamycin: No interactions found

I would still recommend double checking with your doctor to make sure the cold medication will not reduce the efficacy of your antibiotics.

What specific antibiotic are you asking about?

Without knowing that, I can't really check for any possible drug interactions.

Additionally, when you post back, can you please include details on the specific Alka Seltzer formulation?

The ingredients differ between them.
