Acamprosate is used to help individuals who have stopped drinking alcohol remain abstinent by reducing cravings and preventing relapse. Taken three times daily, it works by balancing brain neurotransmitters. While generally well tolerated, it can cause mild gastrointestinal issues, and in rare cases, mood changes. Campral should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan and with close medical supervision.

Disulfiram is prescribed to help treat alcoholism by causing an unpleasant reaction when alcohol is consumed. It helps support long-term sobriety and must be used with full awareness and consent. Side effects may include drowsiness or headache, and alcohol should be strictly avoided during use.
