What Is The Effect Of Antabuse On The Kidney Function?

default
Posted on Wed, 26 Nov 2014
Question: Yes, Doctor. I am taking antabuse and my drinking problem is under control. I am concerned about kidney function with this drug. I only have one kidney and I am 77 yrs old. My blood workups show that I am marginal in terms of kidney function. Inaddition, to antabuse I am on Ambrogel, meloxicam, lexapro, levothyroxin, lisinopril and gabapentin. Despite this brew of drugs I feel great! Better than I have in years. XXXXXXX
