Hello,
No, Esperal contains Disulfiram. Alcohol disulfiram reaction had caused death even at dose as low as 30 ml of alcohol. Alcohol is not at all safe on disulfiram and should be avoided for at least 2 weeks after disulfiram use. Remember craving for alcohol is hardly for 30 minutes and if you can overcome that 30 minute by drinking water or diverting your mind in some other work you will be able to control craving. Take Care.

Dear Pam,
I hope Dixone is Disulfiram tablet. Disulfiram and alcohol interaction gives unpleasant feeling and morbid fear. That is why your uncle is not drinking since he is not getting any good feeling with alcohol.
If you stop Disulfiram, he will start enjoying alcohol and become dependent within few days by increasing the alcohol intake. So DO NOT STOP Disulfiram unless you want him to drink on an occasion.
Disulfiram needs to be stopped 10 days earlier to make him enjoy alcohol.
