Dear lybrate-user, Disulfiram (antabuse) reacts with alcohol to make acetaldehyde which is a poison. So if you take antabuse, you should be absolutely sure that you will not drink alcohol in any form - not even a teaspoonful. Carry with you a card always to say that you are on Antabuse. Inform a close friend and family member that you are on antabuse. However you can not buy antabuse on your own. A psychiatrist only prescribe or dispense it. She/he will give you all the precautions to be taken.
