Reply to "Alcohol?"

Yes, metronidazole is the same as Flagyl. I have found no alcohol intolerance for me while taking metronidazole. If you experiment, do it at home and with a small amount at first. If you react, you will get nausea, vomiting, and flushing. Not necessarily in that order and it may be only some of the symptoms.

 

It is not a widely documented reaction, but a presumed reaction due to the chemical similarity to the drug disulfram (Antabuse), which is the drug they give to alcoholics as aversion therapy.
