Thank you maso,
I couldn't find anything to do with foods that contain alcohol (if this will affect me while taking antabuse). Do you know of any ?

Hi,

This is what I could find in the meantime, I suggest you give your Dr. a call and ask for a more complete list.

All the best,

Hello fergie. To add to what Maso said, I took antabuse for years. Deoderants are not an issue. Foods, such as cakes (rumbaba) , chocolates (liqueur filled)as well as cough syrups need to be monitered for alcohol volume and content. Regards, pledge
