A member asked:
Is disulfiram effective if the prescribed dosage is 250mg twice a week?

Probably: However the amount of alcohol you will be able to consume will be more than if you had taken one or two pills daily.

Disulfiram: Starting dose of Antabuse is often 500mg per day and maintenance dose if often 250mg/day (but may vary from 125 to 500mg/ day. The dosage you asked about is likely to be less effective than the recommended amount.
