Medical applications
HeadacheFluHeartNausea
Esperal Tablet contains Disulfiram 250mg, a medication primarily used to support the treatment of chronic alcoholism by producing an acute sensitivity to ethanol. Disulfiram works by inhibiting the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, leading to the accumulation of acetaldehyde when alcohol is consumed. This accumulation causes unpleasant physiological reactions such as flushing, nausea, vomiting, headache, and palpitations, which act as deterrents to drinking alcohol.
