What Disulfiram 250 mg is used for
- Alcohol dependence – as a deterrent that causes an unpleasant reaction if you drink, supporting someone who has decided to stop.
- Used as part of a de-addiction programme with counselling and family support, never alone.
- Helping maintain abstinence after detox in people who have relapsed on other treatments, under a psychiatrist or de-addiction specialist.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I drink alcohol on Dizone?
Within about 10 minutes you get flushing, throbbing headache, nausea and vomiting, sweating, chest pain, breathlessness and a drop in blood pressure that can last an hour or more. Large amounts of alcohol can cause collapse and need emergency care.
Can Dizone be given secretly to a family member?
No. Giving disulfiram without the person's knowledge is unsafe and unethical – an unexpected reaction can be life-threatening and liver damage can go unnoticed. It only works as part of a treatment the person has agreed to.
How long after stopping Esperal can I drink alcohol?
The reaction can occur for up to 2 weeks after the last tablet, because disulfiram leaves the body slowly. Ideally, the aim is to remain alcohol-free altogether.
Esperal vs Dizone – which is better?
Both contain disulfiram 250 mg and work the same way. The difference is only in brand and price.
