Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been taking Terbinafine for the last three months for my nail fungus. I just want to make sure that it is safe for me to drink alcohol now that I am off the pill. I plan on drinking a whole week (seven days) after I take my last pill. Will I be fine? How long after taking my last pill of Terbinafine can I drink alcohol? I took my last pill this three days back.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Actually, small traces of Terbinafine will stay in blood for few weeks. However, its initial half-life is 36 hours, after a week period, the level is significantly at a lower level. So you may safely drink alcohol. However, it is better to keep it at a moderate level as liver must be recovering from slightest injury if any. So you may have it but have it in moderation for three to four weeks.
