Severe Vomiting Episodes. Taking Antabuse Medication. Due To Medicine Or Alcohol Consumption?
Hi my sister is on Antabuse, and the other night she started to throw up violently, she said it is because she is constipated and that she is throwing up because of that, I am very suspicious of her because I know if you drink while on Antabuse you become ill and throw up, can being constipated make her throw up or would you suspect it is a reaction to the Antabuse and consuming alcohol.
