Emedinews:Makesure: An alcoholic reacted to disulfiram.


Situation: An alcoholic reacted to disulfiram.
Reaction: Oh my God! Why was the drug given to him?
Lesson: Make sure that the use of disulfiram is reserved for individuals, who are highly motivated to maintain abstinence, and are either treatment-adherent or take the medication in a supervised setting.
