Antabuse
Uses
of Antabuse :
This medication is used to help treat alcoholism. Antabuse
is not a cure for alcoholism and must be used in combination
with supportive therapy and counseling. This medication must
never be used without a person's knowledge.
How to use Antabuse :
Take Antabuse by mouth, usually one or two tablets daily as
directed by your doctor. Tablets can be crushed or mixed with
liquid if swallowing is a problem. Do not take antabuse for
at least 12 hours after drinking alcohol. While taking antabuse,
it is extremely important you avoid alcohol in all forms including
beer, wine, aftershave lotions, mouthwash, colognes, liquid
medications. Read labels carefully, including those of nonprescription
products, and ask your pharmacist about the alcohol content
if you are uncertain.
Side Effects of Antabuse:
Antabuse may cause headache, drowsiness, restlessness, skin
rash, acne, garlic-like aftertaste, changes in vision. Inform
your doctor if any of these effects persist or worsen. Unlikely
to occur but report immediately: tingling hands or feet, fatigue,
weakness, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, strong stomach
pains, dark urine, yellowing of the eyes or skin. If you notice
other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Antabuse Precautions:
Tell your doctor your medical history, especially: heart disease,
liver or kidney disease, psychiatric problems, diabetes, any
allergies (especially to rubber or pesticides). Antabuse causes
an intolerance to alcohol. Drinking alcohol while on anatbuse
can cause serious effects that can last from 30 minutes to
several hours. It produces an unpleasant reaction of flushing,
headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sweating, pounding
heart (palpitations), blurred vision or weakness when even
small amounts of alcohol are ingested. These disulfiram-alcohol
reactions can occur up to two weeks after the medication has
been stopped. Because disulfiram can cause drowsiness, use
caution when driving or engaging in activities requiring alertness.
Disulfiram should be used only when clearly needed during
pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
It is not known if disulfiram is excreted into breast milk.
Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Antabuse Drug Interactions:
Disulfiram can affect the way your body reacts to other drugs.
Tell your doctor about all the medications you use (both prescription
and nonprescription), especially: amitriptyline, isoniazid,
metronidazole, theophylline, phenytoin, warfarin. Do not start
or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.
Overdose:
If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control
center or emergency room immediately. Symptoms of overdose
may include unsteadiness, unusual bleeding or bruising, facial
flushing, decreased sexual ability, fainting, memory loss,
garlic or rotten egg breath, metallic taste, and seizures.
Antabuse Notes:
Do not allow anyone else to take this medication. Laboratory
and/or medical tests (e.g., liver function and blood counts)
may be performed to monitor your progress.
Antabuse Missed Dose:
If you miss a dose of antabuse, take as soon as remembered
if it is within 12 hours of the missed dose. If it is past
12 hours when you remember, skip the missed dose and resume
your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch
up.
