Patient summary
Disulfiram 250mg and 500mg tablets, plain and effervescent, used in the management of alcohol dependence. It blocks the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase.
Mechanism of action
Disulfiram interferes with the metabolism of alcohol by blocking the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase. This results in the accumulation of acetaldehyde in the body, causing unpleasant physical reactions when alcohol is consumed, thereby deterring alcohol intake.
Antabuse is the leading brand name for Disulfiram, a medication primarily used in the management of alcohol dependence. This product is supplied as a tablet in strengths of 250mg and 500mg. The medication is intended to support individuals working towards long-term sobriety goals within a routine.
Buying Antabuse online
While generic Disulfiram can be more affordable for expats located far from a pharmacy, maintaining consistency with a familiar brand like Antabuse may be preferred. This medication is best used under a doctor’s care to monitor progress and adjust treatment as required.
