Im on Antabuse and the bottle says to keep a note on myself that announces I take Antabuse and to alert all doctors. I did the dentist and eye doctor today and they both asked about meds. And I said nothing. I'm also on Klonopins as needed. Who do I really have to tell? Its a small town in the smallest state.

Ask the dr who prescribed it to you, to explain who you need to tell.

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Antabuse. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
•Alcohol-containing medicines (eg, certain HIV protease inhibitors [eg, amprenavir], cough syrups, other liquid medicines) or metronidazole because the risk of severe side effects may be increased
•Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin), benzodiazepines (eg, diazepam), isoniazid, or phenytoin because side effects may be increased by Antabuse

Thanks. Thats what I thought. Only got a numbing agent at the dentist and as usual it took 2 hits to work. I was paranoid about swallowing any mouthwash rinse!
