What is Antabuse?
Antabuse containing the active ingredient disulfiram is considered an aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor type of medication. The medication should be used along with counseling and support to treat alcoholism. The tablets work by interfering with the metabolism of alcohol to cause unpleasant effects when even small amounts of alcohol are consumed. The unpleasant effects caused by consuming alcohol after using the medication may include headaches, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, blurred vision, confusion, breathing difficulty and anxiety.

How is Antabuse used?
Antabuse is usually taken orally once per day or as directed by a doctor. The tablets can be taken with or without food but should be taken with a full glass of water. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage as it will depend on the patient's condition and their response to the medication. The tablets can be crushed and mixed with water, juice, soft drinks or milk to be consumed as a liquid.

Warnings
