Disulfiram 250mg (Generic)

Disulfiram 250mg (Generic) is an alcohol deterrent medication prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment program for individuals with chronic alcoholism. It works by blocking the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, leading to unpleasant physical reactions such as flushing, nausea, vomiting, and palpitations when alcohol is consumed. These effects discourage patients from drinking alcohol and support long-term sobriety.

This medication is typically used alongside counseling, behavioral therapy, and support programs. Disulfiram does not cure alcoholism but serves as a strong deterrent to alcohol intake. It should only be taken under medical supervision, as alcohol consumption while on disulfiram can result in serious and potentially dangerous reactions.
