Antabuse Disulfiram Dosage and Effects during use as an Anti Addiction Medication
Unlike Campral, Antabuse is an alcohol anti addiction medication that acts only as a deterrent; it does not heal any of the damage caused by alcohol addiction. The dose of Antabuse is 250 mg/day, and liver function blood tests should be obtained by your primary care physician on a quarterly basis.
One of the complications of taking Antabuse as an alcohol anti-addiction medication is that it can cause the typical toxic reaction with very small amounts of alcohol, even if alcohol is taken accidentally. Consequently, when you are on Antabuse, you have to be very careful to use certain alcohol containing products (perfume, mouth wash) very carefully. Also, certain sauces for food can contain small amounts of alcohol and cause a reaction. However, if you are carefully observant of your environment, these hazards can be easily avoided while taking anti-addiction medication.
