Alwid 250mg Tablet is used to treat alcohol dependence or chronic alcoholism. It contains Disulfiram, which works by blocking an enzyme that breaks down alcohol in our body. This results in a higher level of acetaldehyde in the blood, causing discomfort and physical reactions. It can help alcohol-addicted people who have decided to quit alcohol drinking by deterring them from drinking again. So, it acts as a supportive agent in the treatment of alcoholism. It may cause common side effects such as drowsiness, tiredness, headache, acne, flushing (warmth, redness, or tingly feeling), sweating, increased thirst, swelling, rapid weight gain, nausea, severe vomiting, neck pain, throbbing headache, blurred vision, fast or pounding heartbeats or fluttering in your chest, confusion, weakness, spinning sensation, feeling unsteady, or and metallic/garlic-like taste in the mouth may occur as your body gets used to the medication. Do not take this medicine if you have consumed alcohol within the past 12 hours.
