Some people are more resistant to the effects of antabuse than others, some cheat on their dosage, and some are willing to put up with the discomfort -- which is in proportion to how much and how rapidly you drink.
This shows how powerful alcohol addiction can be, BTW.
There's no black or white answer. In an addiction, your brain associated the taste of an alcohol beverage with comfort. By drinking non-alcohol beer or wine, your fooling your brain, and why would you do that to yourself? Secondly, many non alcoholic beverages do contain a really small amount of alcohol (it's mostly mentioned on the product). This could get you sick if on antabuse

Perfectly safe, but why bother taking it at all if it's not working and you still want to drink? Get some antabuse.
Activated charcoal is not effective in absorbing antabuse (disulfiram) from the body. Antabuse works by blocking the breakdown of alcohol in the body, leading to unpleasant side effects if alcohol is consumed. It is best to consult a healthcare professional for proper management of antabuse toxicity.
No. They will trigger your alcoholism, and you will end up back where you were before you started treatment.
Yes, drinking alcohol while on Antabuse can lead to a severe reaction called the Antabuse-alcohol reaction. This reaction can cause symptoms like flushing, nausea, vomiting, headache, and increased heart rate, and can even be life-threatening. It is important to avoid alcohol for at least 14 days after stopping Antabuse to allow the medication to fully leave your system.
Yes, but you might as well toss the Antabuse and go back to drinking. You're not recovering at all if you're taking drugs.
The spelling "Antabuse" is a trademark name for an anti-addiction drug disulfiram.
Sober up and stop taking it. If your on antabuse it's for a really good reason.
I Would Say No..
Hey, they don't need to drink that.
Antabuse is an anti-alcohol drug to help people who have alcohol addiction problems. One can find more information about the side effects, interactions, and uses for Antabuse on Web MD's official website.
I'm not a doctor, but i do believe you CANNOT take any alcohol while on antibiotics, i dont think you will get sick or overdose, but the antibiotic won't work, it would be just as if you had not taken it at all. In fact, the antibiotic will work even if alcohol is taken with it. Drinking alcohol with some antibiotics might cause very huge side effects (called "antabuse effect") and should be avoided. However, Ampicillin is quite a big antibiotic and given in big infections. I don't think you'll have "antabuse effect" if you drink alcohol, but you'll have some exacerbated side effects because of your infection and because of your antibiotics.
