A member asked:

Finished my 2 week course of fluconazole and avoided drinking alcohol all together during treatment, is it safe to drink after 48hrs of my last dose?

Dr. Hiep Le answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Both alcohol and fluconazole may have liver side effect but there is no true interaction between alcohol and fluconazole. Fluconazole is still in your body after 2 days. Its average half life is 30 hours so it takes at least 4-5 days before the drug is out of your system. Please drink considerately.
