I hate to stink & have ALWAYS worn my fragrance. Will wearing my usual cologne have side affects, if not worn heavily, while on Antabuse?
What cologne can I wear while on Antabuse?

I very much doubt you will have any issues with wearing Cologne whilst on antabuse. Only if you were extremely sensitive to the drug would you experience a reaction and even then it would be a mild skin reaction. Antabuse works when alcohol is ingested, not necessarily when touched (although caution is recommended). I've been on antabuse for over a month and can wear perfume and use mouthwash, will no Ill side effects. My advise would be to do a small skin spot test, wait 12-24 hours and see if there is any reaction. if there isn't feel free to continue using your cologne
