It is not recommended you drink alcohol while taking Terbinafine HCL. This medication already puts stress on your liver, and even in some rare cases can cause liver failure. Make sure you find out that your liver is in good health before beginning your treatment. When taking Terbinafine HCL it is recommended you look for signs of liver problems, such as yellow skin, yellow eyes, dark urine, fatigue etc... and a visit to your doctors to make sure your body is not having any adverse reactions to the drug. So in short no you cannot drink alcohol while taking Terbinafine HCL. Good luck with the treatment!

That's one thought, and probably for everyone not drinking any alcohol ever is the best policy (much like not ever smoking, forgetting your seat belt, etc.) But: The truth is Lamisil, or it's generic equivalent Terbinafine, are both tough on the liver and have some side effects--so much so that any doctor worth his salt will run blood tests to check liver function.

But--alcohol is also tough on the liver without taking anything at all. If you are a normal person (read: not an alcoholic) in your intake, the combination of taking Lamisil/Terbinafine and moderate drinking (moderate being defined as 1-2 drinks in a 24-hour period) won't effect your liver at all. Most docs do follow-up tests at 45-day intervals (this drug is usually prescribed for 90 to 180 days) and if you're having any issues at all, he/she will probably pull you from the prescription if you're honest about your alcohol use.

That being said--if you're drinking upwards of 6 drinks a day and on the medicine--you're on your own. That's not "moderate."

That is marginally harmful to most. (That's right--most. Some people show very little liver damage drinking up to 15 drinks a day. Heavy drinking does not = guaranteed liver damage, just a higher chance of it. Same way that you occasionally find smokers living to 90 years old.)
