Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

No wait at all: Contrary to popular beliefs, almost no antibiotics interact with alcohol. Heavy alcohol impairs the immune system's ability to fight infection, but alcohol in moderation makes no difference. You can start the Lamisil whenever you wish.
