Alcohol and PEP

After using PEP for 3 hours, I rinsed my mouth with Listerine but did not rinse my mouth with water. I found that Listerine contains alcohol. Let me ask, will alcohol affect the effects of PEP if I swallow it 3 hours after using PEP?

You can drink alcohol when you take PEP. Read the insert that came with your medication when you have questions or ask your pharmacist.
