Is drinking with disulfiram (antabuse) the worst of the side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Disulfiram is approved as a treatment for alcohol dependence. It works by interfering with the breakdown of alcohol leading to an accumulation of acetaldehyde which causes nausea and flushing when you drink.
