Antabus 500mg tablets 25’s

Antabus 500mg tablets, also known by the generic name disulfiram, are used alongside other treatments and counseling for alcohol dependency. They work by blocking the processing of alcohol in the body, causing unpleasant side effects when alcohol is consumed. This acts as a deterrent to drinking further alcohol.

Here are some important points to note about Antabus:

• It is only suitable for people who have been through detoxification (‘detox’) and have stopped drinking alcohol.
• The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
• Side effects may include drowsiness, tiredness, headache, acne, and a metallic/garlic-like taste in the mouth.
• Serious side effects can include decreased sexual ability, vision changes, numbness/tingling of arms/legs, muscle weakness, mental/mood changes, seizures, and liver disease.
• Antabus should not be given to a person without their knowledge.
• Do not take Antabus if you have consumed alcohol within the past 12 hours.
• Do not drink alcohol while taking disulfiram and for up to 14 days after you stop taking this medicine.
