Disulfiram Tablets 250 mg by Alvogen Pharmaceuticals is a prescription medication used in the treatment of alcohol addiction. It is also known by its brand name, Antabuse. Disulfiram works by causing unpleasant side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and flushing when a person consumes alcohol. This is intended to help individuals with alcohol addiction stay sober by creating a deterrent to drinking. Disulfiram is usually used as part of a comprehensive treatment program that also includes counseling and support. It is important to follow the prescribed treatment plan while taking Disulfiram and to speak with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or side effects.
Disulfiram Tablets 250 mg work by inhibiting the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, which is responsible for breaking down alcohol in the body. This leads to a buildup of acetaldehyde, a toxic byproduct of alcohol metabolism, in the body.
When a person on disulfiram consumes alcohol, they will experience unpleasant physical effects such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and flushing due to the high levels of acetaldehyde in their system. This creates a strong aversion to drinking alcohol, and over time can help individuals to maintain abstinence from alcohol.
Disulfiram tablets also have other effects that may be beneficial in treating alcohol use disorder. It has been shown to reduce cravings for alcohol and may also have an impact on the reward pathways in the brain, making alcohol less appealing to people taking the medication. It is often used in combination with therapy and support to help individuals overcome their dependence on alcohol.
