Brief Answer:
There can be interaction with alcohol.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

There is risk of alcohol interaction.Due to this risk, you should avoid alcohol while you are taking these medications, and you should continue to avoid alcohol for 72 hours after you stop taking tinidazole.

Since it is past 72 hours from your last dose of drug, you can now take alcohol.
