Don’t give disulfiram for at least 12 hours after alcohol ingestion. Be sure to wait at least 12 hours after your last drink before beginning to take disulfiram. Among the medications to treat AUD, disulfiram is the least safe-especially in those people with liver disease (e.g. liver cirrhosis or elevated liver function tests). Your doctor will likely need to monitor your liver function tests if disulfiram is prescribed.
