Antabuse.
Antabuse (disulfiram) can be prescribed by your doctor for the treatment of chronic alcoholism. It can be used by patients who want to quit drinking voluntarily. Anxiety, chest pain, choking, weakness, headache, mental confusion, nausea, difficulty breathing, sweating, flushing of the face, vomiting, and blurred vision are all the possible consequences for you if you drink any amount of alcohol or use some products that can contain alcohol, even if those are any perfumes, aftershaves, mouthwashes, antiseptics, or colognes. Remember about alcohol content of products that you use regularly – such as vinegars or sauces. Make sure you read all the labels carefully to find out if the product you are going to consume contains any alcohol. Antabuse is sometimes associated with side effects you may develop at the beginning the treatment while your body is adjusting to the dose prescribed. The following mild side effects are sometimes experienced: swollen tongue, mild headaches, sore tongue, impotence, skin rash, mild drowsiness, and mild acne. They are most likely to disappear as you continue with the treatment. Tell your doctor if you are taking any medications known to interact with Antabuse – such as isoniazid, vitamins, amitriptyline, anticoagulants, metronidazole, or phenytoin.
