Hello Does anyone have any advice regarding drinking small amounts of alcohol on Pembrolizumab. We forgot to ask and my husband's just had his first treatment today. 

  • Hello Haydon,

    I have been on pembrolizumab since April. I do have a glass of wine sometimes (generally a white or rose as they tend to be lower alcohol). I recently had a scan and the main tumour has shrunk so from my experience there dont seem to be any issues as long as it is only a small amount. 

    Hope this helps.

  • Thank you this is very helpful.
