Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

Forteo do not affect blood alcohol test and do not cause violation of any regulation. It contains recombination DNA which is quite different from alcohol and do not interfere with testing and results.

I hope this answers your query.

Thanks and regards
