What causes nausea with disulfiram?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acetaldehyde: Disulfiram is a drug used to treat alcohol dependence. It blocks the normal breakdown of alcohol in the body and leads to the build-up of a chemical called acetaldehyde. This leads to many effects including nausea and vomiting.
