Why dont you wait till you finish your 7 day course. There is no harm in drinking alcohol while on that medication, just limit the amount of alcohol as being drunk lowers your immune system and that is the reason you have shingles in the first place

You are going to have to be careful with this drug E it can be addictive and also in some casue people to become dizzy I would advise agains drinking whilst on these tablets to be honest you can drink but I do not neeed to tell you about your liver which this drug can effect if taken long term along with drinking. So yes you will feel drowsy and may be dizzy just be careful your gp knows of the drinking so he would not have given you something that would cause you great harm short term. So I take it that it was a nerve problem in your arm.

Its not a good idea to drink alcohol with any medication, in any case why would you want to , shingles is horrible and hurts, you wouldn't want to feel bad again would you?

i did when i was on the same medication for shingles, but everyone is different and it may be a bad thing,so my advice to you is to ask your doctor or pharmicist,just to be safe.
