Antabuse.

Antabuse (disulfiram) is a drug prescribed for the treatment of chronic alcoholism. It's very important that the patient would be aware of the mechanism of action Antabuse has before starting the treatment. The person who is taking Antabuse must be aware of the effects this medicine can cause if any amounts of alcohol are consumed. The following symptoms will be experienced within 10 minutes for the moment some alcohol has been ingested: nausea, blurred vision, difficulty breathing, flushing of the face, headache, weakness, vomiting, chest pain, choking, mental confusion, sweating, and anxiety. Before you start taking Antabuse, tell your health care provider if you have thyroid disease, diabetes, liver disease, seizure disorder, mental disorders, kidney disease, or brain damage, as those conditions may prevent you from safely taking this medicine or your dose may need to be adjusted. Always tell your health care provider if the mild side effects you originally had (impotence, skin rash, sore tongue, mild headaches, swollen tongue, acne, and mild drowsiness) have changed in intensity or become severe, as your treatment may be revised to make sure you get all the benefits possible.
