Alcoholism is a serious disease that affects not only the drinker, but also all the people who live next to him. Often an alcoholic does not realize the full danger of his addiction and, not considering himself sick, deliberately refuses treatment and continues to cause a lot of problems for himself and his family. Although it is believed that the adult male population is more susceptible to drunkenness, women and children also suffer from it. There are many reasons pushing people onto the dubious path of addiction to the green serpent. It can be dissatisfaction with life, constant stress, unrequited love, problems at work and much more. Not the least role in the spread of alcoholism is played by the genetic factor.

Alcoholism: the search for a way out

The main symptom of alcoholism is a constant desire to drink.

An alcoholic finds any excuse to take a sip of alcohol. Constant drunkenness leads to personality degradation, after which a person no longer cares how he looks, what they think of him, what he needs to do.

Once in, people commit a lot of terrible crimes that they would never have done on a sober head. To date, there are many ways to get rid of drunkenness, the most effective of them are drugs for alcoholism.

To recover from alcoholism, a drinking person needs to realize his problem and make every effort to solve it.

But often alcohol addiction worries not so much the alcoholic as his family. So the household is thinking about what pills or powders can be secretly poured into a person’s food so that he has an aversion to alcohol. But few medicines can kill the desire to drink in an alcoholic. Any drugs for alcohol dependence have their own contraindications and features of the reception, so they should be prescribed by a narcologist. The task of relatives is to persuade the drinking person to be treated and provide him with a calm psychological environment in the house.

Classification of drugs prescribed for alcoholism

Let's look at what drugs for alcohol can be purchased today in pharmacies. All means of treatment for alcohol dependence are divided into 3 groups:

• pills and drops that relieve hangover syndrome;
• drugs that reduce cravings for alcoholic beverages;
• drugs that cause an aversion to alcohol.

Medicines of the first group can be conditionally classified as anti-alcohol drugs, since they do not cure addiction, but only improve the well-being of the drinking person after alcohol abuse. The medical preparations of this group include Medichronal, Alka-Seltzer, they can also include the well-known aspirin and paracetamol, any multivitamins. The danger of these drugs is that, while easing the condition of an alcoholic in the morning, they only aggravate his addiction, because they provoke him to uncontrolled use of strong drinks in the evening. They do not fight alcohol addiction and therefore are of no use to a person who dreams of quitting drinking.

Pills popular in Europe and the USA, whose action is aimed at reducing the desire to drink, are practically not registered in the CIS countries. Prices for drugs of this group, presented on the medical market of our country, often exceed $100, and many of our compatriots simply cannot afford it. The Russian analogue of Western drugs that reduces cravings for alcohol, Proproten-100, did not justify the mission assigned to it. The maximum that this drug can help an alcoholic is to get him out of a long binge and make him feel better after drinking alcohol. A person who has undergone a course of treatment with Proprotein-100 may return to alcoholism after a while. A side effect of the drug is the possibility of hallucinations.

The most popular and effective medications aimed at suppressing alcohol addiction are those that cause alcohol intolerance in the body. Let's look at what are drugs for alcohol addiction that cause an aversion to drinking.

Pills for alcoholism

The first place in the list of drugs for alcohol is occupied by disulfiram (its analogues are Abstinil, Teturam, Antabuse). As a result of treatment with this medication, the alcohol taken is transformed into the toxic compound acetaldehyde, which causes a sharp deterioration in the person's health in the form of vomiting, nausea, tachycardia, headaches, and panic attacks. It comes to the point that the alcoholic can no longer drink and is forced to give up drinking on his own. Disulfiram is an old domestic drug, they were treated for alcohol addiction back in Soviet times. In medical and labor dispensaries, narcologists forced drinking people to take medicine at the same time as strong drinks, thereby causing violent side effects in them. After such treatment, even the mention of vodka caused a gag reflex in a person.

Disulfiram is the cheapest remedy for alcohol, so it is available to everyone. The drug has a toxic effect, so they can be treated only in short courses. With prolonged use, the drug destroys the liver and causes persistent nervous disorders. Without the knowledge of the patient, it is difficult to carry out treatment, since the medicine has a specific taste and therefore cannot be mixed with food or drinks. Some time after anti-alcohol therapy, the desire to drink may return to the drinker, but people who have experienced all the “charms” of treatment with disulfiram categorically refuse to repeat courses of treatment against alcoholism with this drug.

The French analogue of disulfiram is Esperal tablets. Its main difference from the domestic anti-alcohol agent is a high degree of purity, which is why the side effects are not so pronounced. In all other respects, Esperal corresponds to disulfiram. To achieve aversion from alcohol, the drug is enough to take 1 time per day. The first result can be expected in 10-12 hours. Esperal acts in such a way that over time, a person who is prone to drunkenness loses the pleasure of alcohol.

"Lidevin" is available in tablet form. It is a combination of the active ingredient disulfiram with the vitamins nicotinamide and adenine. Vitamins are added to the drug in order to reduce the harmful effects of disulfiram on the human nervous system. "Lidevin" is well tolerated by patients, but has the same side effects as traditional disulfiram. The drug is recommended for long-term use in the treatment of alcohol dependence.

Solutions and injections that relieve cravings for alcohol

"Colme" is a popular Spanish drug for alcohol, produced in the form of a solution for drinking. The main active ingredient in Colma is cyanamide. It is his strength that causes the patient intolerance to alcoholic beverages. Cyanamide has a similar effect to disulfiram, but it is much milder than the latter. "Colme" refers to non-toxic drugs, the course of treatment can last up to 6 months. A clear, odorless and tasteless liquid can be easily added to food or tea, and the drinker will not even guess that he is being treated for alcoholism. The only drawback of the drug is its high cost (about $ 40).

Packing "Colme" is enough for an average of 1 month of treatment. The effect of its administration occurs within an hour after taking the first dose. This anti-alcohol solution received a positive response from most countries and was included in the list of essential drugs to combat alcoholism in Europe and America.

The most common drugs for alcoholism, produced for oral use, were listed above. Now let's get acquainted with the drug "Tetlong-250", intended for intramuscular injection. The active substance of the drug is the same disulfiram, but with a slower rate of absorption. As a result of treatment with “Tetlong-250”, an accumulation of the drug is formed under the skin of a person, which continues to act for a long time after the injection. The drug is injected into the body once every 20 days. To achieve a lasting effect, the patient is prescribed a course of treatment consisting of 10 injections. When combining alcoholic beverages and Tetlong, side effects occur that are characteristic of disulfiram treatment.

The pharmaceutical industry offers pills for alcoholism that work in several ways. Depending on the psychotype and nature of the patient, the narcologist may prescribe one or more drugs:

• Means that prevent the appearance of euphoria from drinking alcohol.
• Drugs that alleviate the physical symptoms of withdrawal symptoms when you stop drinking alcohol.
• Drugs that regulate the nervous system.
• Medicines that neutralize the negative effect of ethanol on internal organs.
• Medicines for the restoration of the psyche.

The correct way to get rid of chronic addiction is to place the patient in a hospital, where he will be provided with comprehensive assistance. Treatment begins with detoxification of the body. In parallel with drug therapy, psychologists and specialists in social adaptation work with an alcoholic. Group therapy is effective when dependent people interact and motivate each other. Practice shows that such an approach is rarely feasible. More often, alcoholics are given pills without the knowledge of the patient by close people.

Effective pills for alcohol addiction

Pills for alcohol dependence change the patient's response to alcohol intake. He may experience disgust, symptoms of a digestive upset, or a lack of elevation and tone. Preparations based on naltrexone at the first stage of weaning an alcoholic from alcohol have a noticeable effect, even if he continues to drink alcohol-containing drinks. They are safe to use at home.

Medicines based on disulfiram should be used with great caution without the consent of the patient. These medicines are incompatible with ethanol. If a person is given a drug without his knowledge, then he should be protected from access to alcoholic beverages.

Tablets can be bought in a pack of 20 pcs. for 200 rubles approximately or in larger packaging, 40 pcs. for 306 rubles, which is more profitable. Proproten 100 is an inexpensive drug that effectively reduces cravings for alcohol. With this homeopathic remedy, a chronic alcoholic easily endures a period of sobriety. In some alcohol addicts, Proproten 100 causes an aversion to alcohol, while alleviating the hangover syndrome.

Proproten 100 can be safely added to food or drink for alcohol addicts. There will be no overdose or negative reactions. The patient's mood improves, the level of aggression decreases, sleep normalizes.

The price of a package of Lidevin in pharmacies ranges from 1250 to 1400 rubles for 20 pcs. A drug from a French manufacturer based on dilsufiram. It causes an acute aversion to alcohol and is incompatible with its intake. It is very dangerous to use Lidevin without the consent of the patient due to the specific nature of its interaction with ethanol.

Important! The intake of ethyl alcohol against the background of the presence of Lidevin (disulfiram) in the body causes acute malaise. An alcohol addict who does not know that he has taken a pill is at risk of falling into a coma when taking alcohol.

Lidevin is an excellent remedy for people who stop drinking consciously. As part of the drug there are vitamins that reduce the toxic effect of dilsufiram. To start treatment, you need a day of sobriety. A 10-day course is sufficient, since the acute effect lasts for another 2 weeks after the end of the course.

The cost of Selincro in a pharmacy starts from 5400 rubles per pack. The drug can be purchased without a prescription. Selincro was developed specifically to reduce alcohol consumption.

You do not need to take Selincro in the usual courses, constantly. Before a potential feast, you need to take 1 dragee 2 hours before the event. A person develops an aversion to alcohol, which makes it easy for him to resist temptation. With the help of this medicine, every addict will be able to refrain from drinking alcohol.

Statistics show that in the first six months you can reduce alcohol intake to 40% of the usual dose. In the following year, the limitation rate reaches 60%. Pills allow you to maintain control over the craving for alcohol in addicts who want to stop drinking.

The drug in the pharmacy network can be found from 1400 rubles for a package of 30 tablets. In the treatment of alcoholism, they are used at the stage of withdrawing a person from hard drinking, in further recovery.

The tool helps to survive the withdrawal syndrome in alcoholics with a hangover. Indicated for the treatment of chronic alcoholism.

The cost of 10 capsules of Naltrexone starts from 750 rubles. The drug deprives the alcoholic of the pleasure of drinking alcohol. If the drug is added to addicts without their knowledge, then over time, the craving for alcohol will decrease.

At home, the use of Naltrexone is not dangerous. These pills help to easily endure periods of sobriety and teach you to enjoy without alcoholic beverages. The best effect is noted when the patient is treated consciously.

The best pills for alcoholism without the knowledge of the drinker

When choosing a method of treating a loved one, they are guided not by the cost or the imported name of the drug, but by the effectiveness and safety of its action. Since it is not always possible to control the behavior of alcohol addicts, it is very dangerous to give them drugs that are incompatible with alcohol. There are those that are colorless, odorless and safe for the patient. They can be discreetly added to food or drink and not be afraid to harm a loved one.

Codirex (Codirex)

Codirex is by far the best drug for alcohol addiction in tablet form.

The average cost of the drug provides a better effect of treatment for alcoholism than many expensive drugs.

The medicine works in a complex way:

• cleanses the body of toxins and ethanol processing products;
• restores lost or oppressed functions of internal organs;
• actively renews the synaptic connections of the brain, returning normal memory;
• restores cognitive abilities.

Visually, it is possible to note how the complexion of the patient's face changes. Cyanosis, redness, puffiness go away. The whites of the eyes are cleansed.

The complex effect of the drug develops gradually, but already from the first days of taking the patient's mood improves, "sober" plans for life appear, craving for alcohol fades into the background. Within 10 days, even in persistent patients with alcohol dependence, the desire to drink, leave the house noticeably decreases, and aggression disappears.

For a full course of treatment, you should purchase 3 packs of the product, which will amount to about 3,000 rubles. A month of adding this medicine to food will bring you out of binge and turn away even the most persistent drunkard from alcohol. You can safely add a Codirex tablet to your drink - your patient will not notice anything suspicious. You can buy it without a prescription.

To strengthen the effect, an alcoholic should create an atmosphere of psychological support, even if his plans seem unrealistic to you. A month of sober life should be a turning point in the treatment of alcoholism. The drug is used in their practice and is recommended for treatment by professional narcologists, since the drug shows the greatest effectiveness with complete safety.

The drug in pharmacies can be found in two forms - tablets for daily intake and capsules for implantation under the skin. Dragees for oral administration can be bought at a pharmacy at a price of 1400 rubles approximately.

The action of Esperal is based on interaction with alcohol, which enters the body of an alcoholic. The active substance prevents ethanol from decomposing further than acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde, in turn, is a highly toxic substance. In small quantities, it causes symptoms of general intoxication. In large quantities, it can cause death.

The treatment for uncontrolled cravings for alcohol is to take a single Esperal tablet on an empty stomach in the morning. The implantation of the drug capsule is carried out in a hospital. Giving Esperal to a person without his knowledge is extremely dangerous. Without the presence of ethanol in the body, the drug has no effect, does not manifest itself in any way. One has only to drink a little, as the internal reaction of the drug with alcohol begins. At best, the patient will experience the worst hangover of his life. The worst case scenario could be fatal.

Teturam is a domestic analogue of Esperal with a similar, but milder effect. The manufacturer offers tablets and a soluble capsule for implantation. The price of the drug is much lower than the price of Esperal. In a pharmacy, 30 tablets (a course for a month) can be bought from 145 rubles.

Taking alcohol during treatment with Teturam causes a sharp rush of blood to the face. The patient feels a strong heartbeat, weakness, nausea. Repetitive negative sensations can form a persistent aversion or fear of alcohol in a patient. The drug is intended for the treatment of chronic alcoholism. The best effect is observed when the capsule is implanted. Alcohol addicts often stop taking pills due to instability of motivation.

Thus, if there are a large number of drugs for alcohol dependence in the pharmacy, the choice of drugs to give to the patient is secretly very small. If you cannot strictly control the intake of alcohol-containing drugs, you cannot persuade a chronic addict to voluntary treatment, then Codirex and Proproten 100 remain safe. However, in comparison, homeopathic Proproten is weaker.

Reviews of pills against alcoholism

Reviews about the action of anti-alcohol drugs are left by relatives of addicted people, doctors and the patients themselves. How do the pills work?

Natalia, 34 years old

Kodireks added to her husband 1 tablet in the morning in a drink. When it didn’t work out in the morning, she gave it as it would. Effervescent tablets dissolve quickly and are invisible even in clear vodka. He got out of the binge quickly, but from time to time he still drank. After 2 weeks, I noticed that the craving for drinking is clearly passing. He did not complain about his health and did not notice anything. I continue the treatment and am happy with the result.

Mom Valya, 61 years old

I bought Proproten 100 for my son on the advice of a friend. I gave it all month. Seryozha began to drink less, but from time to time he again goes into a binge. He flatly refuses to encode, he promises everything that he will quit himself. I'm going to repeat the course of treatment, anyway, with pills, he drinks much less.

Children persuaded to be treated. Bought Teturam for a month. I had to take it every morning. Friends called to drink beer, but it was very scary to drink with medicine. Broke once at a birthday party. I thought my end had come. So I vomited, my head was splitting. The pills work well, serving the craving for drinking completely. But not everyone will decide to repeat such treatment.

Pills for alcohol addiction: reviews, prices, application

In this review, we will focus on alcohol addiction pills - a modern pharmaceutical product that is in very high demand. People who have bypassed the vice of alcoholism often do not understand why they should take some pills in order not to drink alcohol ... It seems to them that it is enough just to stop drinking alcohol. But those unfortunates who have developed a stable dependence on alcohol, as well as their immediate family, know how difficult it is to defeat alcohol cravings. Therefore, they take any means and opportunities as allies, and the wives and mothers of alcoholics often even try to use pills for alcohol addiction without the knowledge of the patient, hoping to cunningly free him from addiction. We will also talk about the expediency of the latter in our article.

Can we cure alcoholism?

Unfortunately, doctors give an unambiguously negative answer to this question. Alcoholism is a disease that cannot be cured. That is, an alcoholic is a lifelong title. But this postulate does not mean at all that it is impossible to stop drinking, on the contrary, a person with the help of doctors or even on his own can say to alcohol: “Farewell!” - and do not take a drop of alcohol in your mouth for the rest of your life. Alcohol addiction pills can help you do this. Below we will describe in detail about all such drugs and about the schemes for their administration.

Pharmacological agents that cause aversion to alcohol

There are pills for alcohol addiction that contain a substance (disulfiram or cyamined), which, while in the body, does not allow ethyl alcohol to oxidize. Due to this, the concentration of acetaldehyde increases in the blood of a person who has taken alcohol, which causes such unpleasant reactions as a strong heartbeat, nausea, vomiting, hand tremors, fear of death, etc. This helps to form a conditioned reflex of a strong aversion to alcoholic beverages in the patient .

The name of the pills for alcohol dependence based on disulfiram:

These drugs are recommended to be taken orally in the morning before breakfast, washed down with plain water. It is best if the doctor calculates and prescribes the average daily dose. And although pills for alcohol addiction without a prescription can be bought today in almost any pharmacy, the independent use of such drugs, without a preliminary health examination, can be dangerous, since such drugs have a number of contraindications for use.

In addition to tablets for oral use, drugs are produced that the narcologist sews into the patient's gluteal muscle or shoulder. The active substance is gradually released from the capsule and constantly circulates in the blood of a "filmed" person who knows that if he allows himself to drink at least a little of any of the alcoholic beverages, he will become ill.

Adverse reactions

Even without alcohol, disulfiram-containing products can sometimes have a number of side effects:

But when even small doses of ethyl alcohol enter the body, a person experiences the following conditions:

• Blurred vision.
• Tachycardia.
• Pain behind the sternum.
• Nausea.
• Difficulty breathing.

In severe cases, there is severe vomiting, a drop in blood pressure, respiratory depression, convulsions, spasm of the heart vessels, a heart attack, loss of consciousness, collapse. From the above, it can be seen that tablets for the treatment of alcohol dependence are not at all harmless pills - their use requires caution. Prolonged uncontrolled use of drugs with disulfiram can cause psychosis.

Important warning: ethyl alcohol is not only found in alcoholic beverages, it can also be present in some medicines. The intake of such medicinal products is incompatible with disulfiram - this rule must be remembered and observed. Otherwise, you can get the above side effects.

Contraindications for use

Alcohol addiction tablets containing disulfiram are contraindicated in the following diseases and conditions:

• Atherosclerosis of cerebral vessels.
• Hypertension in the 2nd and 3rd degree.
• Severe heart disease.
• Glaucoma.
• thyrotoxicosis.
• Acoustic neuritis.
• Diabetes.
• Pulmonary tuberculosis.
• Bronchial asthma.
• Liver failure.
• Oncology.
• Renal failure.
• Ulcer disease.
• Mental illness.

Disulfiram should not be combined with drugs that reduce blood clotting to avoid the risk of possible bleeding. It is also not prescribed after a stroke and to people over sixty years of age.

The drug "Colme"

Pharmaceutical companies produce not only pills against alcohol addiction, pills have an excellent alternative - Colme drops. The active substance in them is not disulfiram, but cyamined, but it has exactly the same effect, “punishing” a person who has consumed alcohol inside. Drops of "Colme" are sold in glass ampoules, and each package comes with a special dispenser bottle.

Many believe that such a drug is much more convenient than conventional pills for alcohol addiction. At home, using this remedy is very simple: 12-25 drops of Kolme are dripped into ordinary drinking water, tea or even soup. This should be done twice a day, with twelve-hour intervals between doses. The drug has almost no side effects, unless, of course, a person drinks alcohol. In the latter case, the following symptoms are observed:

• Redness of the skin.
• Nausea.
• Heart rhythm disturbances.
• Feeling of suffocation.
• Pain in the chest.
• Dizziness, etc.

The instructions for the drug say that during the use of "Colma" it is necessary to control the functioning of the thyroid gland. With diabetes mellitus, diseases of the kidneys, cardiovascular system, epilepsy, drinking alcohol against the background of Kolme can be very dangerous.

With prolonged use of drops, cyanamide accumulates in the blood. Therefore, even after discontinuation of the drug for 2 days, it is necessary to refrain from drinking alcohol. In persons with a slow metabolism, the period of complete elimination of "Colme" may increase and range from one to two weeks.

Drug that reduces cravings for alcohol

And now we will tell you what the pills for alcohol dependence with a milder effect are called than the drugs mentioned earlier. "Proproten-100" are homeopathic pills that are recommended to dissolve in the mouth until completely dissolved 15 or 20 minutes before meals. "Proproten-100" effectively helps with symptoms of alcohol intoxication and reduces the desire to take another dose of alcohol.

The regimen is as follows: in the first 2 hours after waking up - 1 tablet every 30 minutes. Further, within 10 hours, if necessary, you can dissolve 1 tablet every hour. In the next two or three days, 1 table is taken. four to six hours later. In order to prevent relapses, "Proproten-100" can be taken for 2-3 months (1-2 tablets per day).

What helps with a hangover

The following drugs: "Zorex", "Alka-Prim", "Alka-Seltzer", "Limontar" - do not directly affect the reduction of cravings for alcohol, but they well reduce the severity of hangover symptoms. As you know, many people prefer to treat like with like and, waking up in the morning after a previous heavy libation, drink alcohol again to get rid of a hangover. So a vicious circle arises, and often a person, even with all the desire, cannot get out of the binge. In this case, how to get rid of alcohol addiction? Hangover pills will help you take the first steps towards sobriety. They will relieve tremors, tachycardia, nausea, headaches, anxiety and other manifestations of a hangover.

Alka-Seltzer is a remedy whose main components are acetylsalicylic acid, sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. These are effervescent tablets that dissolve in water. It is recommended to use 1-2 tablets up to six times a day; while the maximum dose that can be consumed within one day is no more than nine tablets. More than 5 days in a row the drug can not be taken.

Reviews of pills to help stop drinking

About pills for alcohol addiction reviews, of course, are very different. Actually, the same as about any other drugs. What suits one person turns out to be completely unacceptable for another, etc. Nevertheless, Colme, Zorex, Teturam and other means, which are discussed in our article, are in constant demand. If you go on the Internet to any of the forums dedicated to the fight against alcoholism, then you can definitely find topics devoted to the discussion of various medicinal anti-alcohol drugs.

Often there are stories about how people, while taking any pills with disulfiram or cyamine, begin to try to drink a little, conduct, so to speak, an experiment on their own health. Judging by the reviews, this does not lead to anything good. Negative feedback about drugs that help stop drinking, mostly come down to stories about their strong side effects. But this "flaw" is precisely the main factor that makes a person taking such drugs give up alcohol.

Is it possible to give pills for alcohol addiction without the knowledge of the patient

This is not an easy question. When an alcoholic does not want to be treated, his relatives are often ready to go to extremes and try to take the initiative. Usually, not tablets are used, but drops (for example, Kolme), because it is very convenient to add them to food and drink. A person, as a rule, does not realize that he is being stuffed with something on the sly; when taking alcoholic beverages, each time he begins to feel unbearably bad - he gets scared, decides that his body has begun to reject alcohol and for some time ties up with drinking. But narcologists believe that such a "treatment" does not give a stable long-term effect. In addition, if the patient still guesses what the matter is, then such a discovery threatens to turn into a serious family conflict.

As for drugs based on disulfiram, it is forbidden to give them to the patient without his knowledge. As already mentioned in our article, this substance, when alcohol enters the body, gives the strongest reactions that can even bring a person to a stroke or heart attack.

Prices for various drugs

It's time to talk about how much alcohol addiction pills cost. The price of a particular drug may eventually affect the choice of the drug, because some drugs (especially imported ones) are very expensive. Teturam tablets are quite affordable. Their price ranges from 70 to 110 rubles. Esperal tablets cost 1000-1100 rubles, Antabus - 500-650 rubles, Lidevin - 1200-1350 rubles.

The drug "Proproten 100" is inexpensive, its price range is 130 rubles. (20 pcs.) - 250 rubles. (40 pcs.). One of the most expensive drugs for alcoholism is Kolme: the price of a package of four ampoules today reaches 3,700 rubles.

Conclusion

Now you know which pills for alcohol addiction can be used in different cases. In conclusion, I would like to say that the main guarantee of successfully overcoming the craving for alcohol is the strong desire of the person himself to get out of the dangerous quagmire of alcoholism. And tablets, drops and capsules are just auxiliary means or temporary “crutches”, as narcologists call them, especially at the initial stage of a sober life. A person can overcome a lot with a firm intention. We wish you to always achieve your goals!

Pills for alcoholism

Pills for alcoholism are considered one of the most effective methods of treating alcohol addiction. They affect the nervous system, the processes of enzyme production, or improve the general well-being of the patient, so that he comes to his senses and rethinks his lifestyle. You can use drugs only after consulting a doctor, because. they are all quite dangerous if used incorrectly. Even a slight deviation from the desired dosage can lead a person to a heart attack or falling into a coma.

Giving pills to an alcoholic without his knowledge is prohibited, it is considered illegal. The patient himself must be convinced of the need for treatment, understand that he needs it. When he does not express such a desire, forcibly drug therapy can be achieved with the help of a court order. Also, therapy is started if the patient has a strong withdrawal syndrome or alcoholic delirium, i.e. without it, the alcoholic will die. In our article, we will tell you what remedies are most often used to get rid of a bad habit, how they work and who is more suitable.

Types of medicines

Modern medicine has provided people with a large selection of drugs for alcoholism. Depending on the degree of dependence, the experience of alcohol abuse, the patient's health status, the narcologist may prescribe one of the following drugs:

• Averse to alcohol
• Reduce the desire to drink or reduce the pleasure of drinking
• Hangover Relievers

Means from the first group are quite often used in coding when they are sutured under the skin. In this case, the tablets dissolve very slowly, allowing you not to repeat the procedure for years. Inside they can be taken by those who have not yet lost the gag reflex. The second group is more suitable for those who have not yet managed to move to the 2nd stage of the disease, who have not developed a physiological dependence. Tablets from the third group are used at the very beginning of treatment to bring the patient out of hard drinking, cleanse the body and relieve the symptoms of withdrawal symptoms.

The patient needs to undergo an examination in advance to determine all the diseases he has. Thus, it will be possible to choose a drug that does not harm the body and will have the maximum effect.

It is worth taking the pills strictly according to the instructions, otherwise you can get various pathologies of the internal organs, especially the kidneys and liver. It is also necessary so that in the event of a breakdown and drinking alcohol, a person does not die from intoxication. The doctor must warn the patient about the possible consequences, tell what the simultaneous mixing of pills with booze will lead to.

Drugs that develop an aversion to alcohol

It is almost impossible to find non-prescription pills for alcoholism in a pharmacy that produce a negative conditioned reflex response to alcohol. However, if you have a high desire to be treated in this way, you can choose medicinal plants that have the same properties. There are many drugs on the market that work in this way. Their other name is aversive drugs, because. cause an opposite reaction to alcoholic beverages. These include:

Below we will consider the most popular of them.

Teturam. Available in the form of tablets for oral administration. The main active ingredient is disulfiram, like the rest of the drugs in this group. The indication for use is chronic alcoholism and its prevention. Before starting treatment with Teturam, the patient should not consume anything for about a day. The recommended dosage is from 150 to 500 mg, the last digit is the maximum allowable amount per day.

After 7-10 days after the start of treatment, a special test is carried out to determine whether it is necessary to increase or decrease the dosage. So it is corrected for several days, until they come to the optimal one. The duration of therapy is determined by the doctor, after its completion, it is possible to continue taking pills in a minimum amount for several years for preventive purposes. Contraindications for admission are:

With prolonged use, thrombophlebitis, gastritis, psychosis may occur.

Esperal. Made in Spain pills for alcohol addiction. Their regular use will cause disgust for any alcohol-containing substances. Esperal is available in the form of tablets for oral administration and filing, as well as a gel for injection. Its mechanism of action is the same as that of other drugs based on disulfiram: block the production of liver enzymes in order to stop the conversion of ethyl alcohol into safe compounds. He stops at the toxic aldehyde, which causes severe poisoning with the following symptoms:

1. Persistent nausea and vomiting
2. severe weakness
3. The concept of temperature
4. Lowering blood pressure
5. Cardiopalmus
6. Breathlessness and suffocation

The drug effect reaches its peak 12 hours after taking the medicine and can last up to 2 weeks. However, it is recommended to take Esperal daily, 1 tablet per day during breakfast. Due to its strong action, the patient may feel such unpleasant manifestations as reddening of the face, malaise, noise in the head and dizziness, pressure surges. An overdose threatens to fall into a coma, neurological disorders, and death due to aldehyde poisoning.

Lidevin. The composition of this remedy, in addition to disulfiram, also includes 2 B vitamins - B3 and B4. Thanks to them, the tablets have a milder effect, and also affect the human psyche. Take Lidevin from 125 to 500 mg per day, in 2 divided doses. If necessary, the dosage is adjusted.

The first include violations of hematopoietic processes, diseases of the kidneys and liver, respiratory organs, heart, and nervous system. Relative are gastric or duodenal ulcers, disorders of the endocrine system, age over 60 years.

Drugs that reduce cravings for alcohol

If you are interested in reviews of alcoholism pills that reduce cravings for alcohol, you should visit thematic sites. For the most part, the responses are positive, because. pills act directly on the central nervous system. But many note that after treatment with psychotropic drugs, the character of a person changes, not always for the better. But they have practically no contraindications, so this therapy is available to everyone.

Vivitrol. Used to treat substance abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism. The main component of the pills is naltrexone, an opioid receptor antagonist that can take away the pleasure that an alcoholic gets when drinking his drinks. Vivitrol is produced in the form of a powder, which is then, with the help of a solvent, converted into a suspension and injected intramuscularly once a month. It is necessary to enter the substance very slowly.

Due to this type of application, naltrexone accumulates in muscle tissue, slowly dissolving in the blood. It begins to interact with receptors in the brain, blocking the work of opioids.

The action of the drug does not allow you to get rid of either psychological or, moreover, physiological dependence. Therefore, it is important for the patient to simultaneously conduct psychotherapy, communicate more with relatives, take other medications that will restore the functioning of the brain and internal organs. The only contraindication to its use is hypersensitivity to the components. Side effects occur quite rarely, most often with prolonged use:

• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhea

• Change in appetite

At the injection site of the suspension, pain and swelling may be observed for some time. Suicidal behavior, muscle spasms, fainting, skin rashes are also possible.

For alcoholics, this dose is 30 mg, for the elderly - 6, gradually increasing. Adverse reaction to taking Diazepam can be nervous excitement, loss of coordination of movements, lethargy, confusion.

Fluanxol. A neuroleptic with an antipsychotic effect. It starts working at a dosage of 3 mg, and when more than 25 mg per day is prescribed, a sedative effect is added.

Hangover and withdrawal pills

Anti-alcohol pills with anti-hangover properties are very popular not only among alcoholics, but also among ordinary citizens. They do not cure addiction, rather, they simply alleviate the condition of the patient, after which he can go back to drinking. It is impossible to use medicines of this group too often, because. they harm the digestive system.

Is it possible to use pills for alcoholism without the knowledge of the drinker

The patient himself must want to get rid of drug addiction.

Before adding pills, think that you can simply not calculate the dosage, which will provoke the occurrence of severe side effects. Against this background, severe complications can develop: tachycardia, myocardial infarction, stroke, or mental disorders develop, up to death. Such consequences of anti-alcohol therapy should always be remembered.
