Is It Safe To Use Alcohol While Using Tinactin For Athletes Foot?

Is it safe to use alcohol while using tinactin for athletes foot? I know that systemic anti fungals can be hard on the liver, but this is a different type of anti fungal and its only topical and I wasn t sure so I wanted to check before I drink alcohol. Thanks

I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.

Tinactin is not absorbed in the organism, so there is no concern about it acting on the liver in any way, do not worry about that.
Of course excessive alcohol can lead to liver damage by itself with or without other drugs, so you should always be careful about that.

Wishing you good health.
