A member asked:

Can i drink alcohol whilst on griseofulvin? will it affect it's overall effectiveness? (widespread microsporum canis fungal infection)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Potentially toxic: Griseofulvin is a big time CYPT6 inhibitor, and alcohol overrides its metabolism, slowing its metoblism severely, which may cause toxicity. Therefore, I'd avoid alcohol with griseofulvin
