Disulfiram is a prescription alcohol-antagonist medicine; current labeling stresses that alcohol exposure can trigger a serious reaction and may remain relevant after the last dose.
Disulfiram / Antabuse Prescription Product Guide
Disulfiram is a prescription medicine historically associated with the brand name Antabuse. Current DailyMed records include marketed prescription disulfiram tablets under approved generic applications. Product availability should be checked by active ingredient, strength, manufacturer and current supply rather than assumed from an older brand listing.
What disulfiram is used for
Current labeling describes disulfiram as an alcohol-antagonist drug and an aid in the management of selected people with chronic alcohol problems who want to remain abstinent while supportive and psychotherapeutic treatment is used. The label also states that disulfiram is not a cure for alcoholism.
Alcohol-interaction warning
The disulfiram-alcohol interaction is central to product safety. Current labeling warns that disulfiram should not be given to a person who is intoxicated or without the person's full knowledge. It also warns that alcohol can cause a serious reaction and that sensitivity may persist after the medicine is stopped. Alcohol can also be present in products that are not obvious beverages, so the current medication guide and prescriber instructions matter.
