Hello yubugen. I used Antabuse on a daily basis for several years. Deoderants, hair conditioners etc have no bearing on the drug. As long as no alcohol is ingested in your system, your body will have no reaction to taking the drug (Antabuse). Regards, pledge

it would only hurt you if you drink alcohol while on antabuse, as least to my knowledge and sorry it took so long to respond

The name should have been a hint. Makes sense to me now, thanks Aaron.
