What is Antabuse?

Antabuse helps to control alcohol addiction. The active ingredient disulfiram reacts strongly to alcohol, causing side effects when used at the same time. This discourages drinking alcohol. You can order Antabuse online from the pharmacies that work with Dokteronline.com.

What is Sinoma used for?
Alcohol addiction can seriously endanger health. The liver in particular suffers a lot from drinking a lot of alcohol. In addition, alcohol abuse increases the risk of diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Antabuse can help to give up liquor. This drug has unpleasant side effects when used together with alcohol. Within minutes of drinking an alcoholic beverage, symptoms such as shortness of breath, headache, nausea and vomiting, an increased heart rate and a red face arise. These symptoms can last for several hours. This creates an aversion to alcohol.

How to use Antabuse
Take the tablet whole with plenty of water. You can also disintegrate the tablet into some juice or water first. Normally, you start with a high dose for several days. After that, you can switch to a maintenance dose that you take daily or, for example, twice a week. Antabuse reacts with very small amounts of alcohol.

Dosage
The collaborating pharmacies have Antabuse available online. Unless otherwise prescribed by a doctor, the usual dosage is as follows:

Starting dose: 800 mg per day, for 2 to 3 days.

Maintenance dose: 100 to 200 mg per day, or 400 to 800 mg twice a week.

Side effects
In addition to the side effects that occur in combination with alcohol, there are other side effects that can sometimes occur. This concerns complaints such as:

Drowsiness or fatigue (usually temporary);
Gastrointestinal upset (garlic or metallic taste in the mouth);
Skin rash or acne
If you experience these or other side effects, consult a doctor. More information about the side effects can be found in the package leaflet.
