Description

Esperal 250 mg Tablet

Product Overview
Esperal 250 mg is a medication used in the management of chronic alcohol dependence. It is prescribed to help individuals who want to stop drinking alcohol by creating an unpleasant reaction if alcohol is consumed. This medicine is typically used as part of a structured treatment plan that includes counseling, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle support to maintain long-term sobriety.

Active Ingredient
Esperal 250 mg contains Disulfiram, a medication used to support the treatment of alcohol dependence.

How It Works
Disulfiram works by interfering with the body’s ability to break down alcohol. When a person taking this medication consumes alcohol, it leads to a buildup of a substance called acetaldehyde in the body. This causes unpleasant symptoms such as flushing, nausea, headache, and discomfort, which discourages further alcohol consumption.
