Antabuse.

Antabuse (disulfiram) is commonly prescribed for the treatment of chronic alcoholism. It can be taken only if the patient is aware of the unpleasant effects this drug causes if any amounts of alcohol are consumed. Antabuse has been specially designed to discourage drinking, so it is going to cause the following symptoms if you drink any alcohol: vomiting, anxiety, difficulty breathing, choking, mental confusion, chest pain, blurred vision, flushing of the face, nausea, weakness, sweating, and headache. You will need to read all the labels carefully to make sure you do not accidentally eat or drink something that also contains alcohol. Antabuse is not supposed to be combined with other medications, especially monoamine oxidase inhibitors, metronidazole, phenytoin, tricyclic antidepressants, isoniazid, theophylline, warfarin, or lithium. Your doctor is supposed to know if you have any medical conditions requiring a dose adjustment, such as thyroid disease, kidney disease, brain damage, diabetes, liver disease, seizure disorder, or any mental disorders,. Do not take Antabuse if you are pregnant, as this drug is known to pass into breast milk, while its effects on unborn babies have not been properly studied yet.
