Disulfiram-like Reaction With Metronidazole: An Unsuspected Culprit.

The association of disulfiram-like reaction with concomitant use of metronidazole and alcohol has been reported in the literature; however, alcohol containing oral liquids may not always be identified as a culprit. A case of a 14-year-old patient who experienced a possible disulfiram-like interaction while receiving metronidazole and Prednisone Intensol solution is reported. Metronidazole oral suspension was initiated for treatment of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea.
