Dear lybrate-user,

No. Without patient's motivation to give up the habit of alcohol, it is not possible. Try to motivate him for a de-addiction program in a professional setting. Though there are some medicines like disulfiram that are being given to the addicted people without their knowledge, sooner or later they find the trick and the problem will only aggravate.

Dear Vishakha, There are effective treatment for sudden alcohol withdrawal 3 different tablets for reducing the cravings There is also Disulfiram for aversion to alcohol Please try to admit him for DVT and seek psychiatric help to motivate him

The tablet you mentioned is a steroid, why was it given. It is never indicated for alcoholism. Kindly get him admitted in a hospital with detailed evaluation. Good luck.

A doctor will prescribe an antabuse called disulfiram. It is not at all effective if the person is not going for therapy simultaneously. You need to cooperate with the prescription until the desired result is achieved. If you ingest even a small dose of alcohol or alcohol based syrups, you will likely have a mild to severe reaction that may entail hospitalization! are you going to be sufficiently committed? talk to your doctor and discuss all the repercussions before venturing into this therapy....more

You have to meet with a doctor who will prescribe disulfiram and if he takes even cough syrup which has a little alcohol, he can suffer some adverse reactions. So he has to be warned and he has to be sure to take the medicine.

2 bottles per day is too much. It might be difficult to treat him as out patient. Find out a nearest Deaddiction centre, which is licensed and has psychiatrist to treat and get him admitted there, his liver function test and other testsmight be needed to adjust the dosage of medications during detoxification and further de-addiction. All the best.

Dear lybrate-user,
Good that you know alcohol is causing dyspepsia and GERD. You must be knowing the treatment also- STOP alcohol.
If you have any difficulty in stopping alcohol, please take the help of doctors. They give you vitamins and benzodiazepines for withdrawal symptoms, they give anti craving tablets for 9-12 months to reduce your craving for alcohol. They may make you get aversion to alcohol with disulfiram, if needed.

Dear lybrate-user,
When you go on enhancing your motivational level to stop drinking, it is possible. Doctors can help help you to treat the withdrawal symptoms, give you anti craving tablets or give aversion tablet like Disulfiram also. Of course doctors will investigate and treat the medical and mental disorders associated with alcohol consumption.

It is due to you drink alcohol with dizone that leads disulfiram reaction. Aversion therapy for you for deaddiction. So don't take liquor with this drug. Good drug for treatment but take it undersupervision of psychiatrist/addiction psychiatrist.
