Patient summary
Disulfiram 250mg and 500mg tablets, plain and effervescent, used in the management of alcohol dependence. It blocks the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase.
Mechanism of action
Disulfiram interferes with the metabolism of alcohol by blocking the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase. This results in the accumulation of acetaldehyde in the body, causing unpleasant physical reactions when alcohol is consumed, thereby deterring alcohol intake.
