Hi, I was on a course of 400 mg metronidazole 3 times a day for 5 days, I took the last pill 81 hours ago. Is is safe to have 1 500 ml beer with 4.5% alcohol now? Also, when is it ok to have more than one? Thanks in advance!

Alcohol should not be taken within 7 days after the last dose of metronidazole. otherwise there may be severe reaction.
