Why do I feel drunk after just two glasses of beer while using Disulfiram?

Asked by Male, 35 ยท 2 months ago

Disulfiram reacts adversely with alcohol and makes you feel sick very quickly, even after a small amount. This reaction can cause dizziness, flushing, and a feeling of being drunk. Alcohol should be fully avoided while taking this medicine.

  1. Why you feel drunk: Disulfiram blocks the breakdown of alcohol, causing a buildup of acetaldehyde. This leads to symptoms like flushing, nausea, and dizziness, mimicking intoxication.

  2. Importance of avoiding alcohol: Even small amounts, like two glasses of beer, can trigger severe reactions. Avoid all alcohol, including in foods and products like mouthwash.

  3. What to do: Stop drinking alcohol immediately. Contact your healthcare provider for guidance on managing symptoms and medication adjustments. Always follow your doctor's instructions with Disulfiram.
