    Pretty sure she means antabuse.

    Before taking disulfiram,

    *

    Tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to disulfiram or any other drugs.
    *

    Tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, especially amitriptyline (Elavil), anticoagulants ('blood thinners') such as warfarin (Coumadin), isoniazid, metronidazole (Flagyl), phenytoin (Dilantin), any nonprescription drugs that might contain alcohol, and vitamins.
    *

    Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had diabetes, thyroid disease, epilepsy, brain damage, or kidney or liver disease.
    *

    Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking disulfiram, call your doctor.
    *

    If you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are taking disulfiram.
    *

    You should know that this drug may make you drowsy. Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how this drug affects you.
