Introduction
Background
The purpose of this study is to provide an estimate of the price of a class of antabuse (disulfiram) in Spain to determine the extent that it is priced in pharmacies. We examined the total dispensed for the drug in Spain between January and May 2008.
Materials and methods
Methods
Study design
We conducted a study to calculate the total dispensed for a drug in Spain between January and May 2008.
Results
The total dispensed was €17.82 for the oral and €10.78 for the tablet. The total prices were €0.30 and €0.57, respectively, for the oral and €0.57 and €0.15, respectively, for the tablet. The prices were significantly lower for the oral than for the tablet (p <0.05), and the lowest prices for the oral were for the tablet (p<0.05). The average price for the oral and tablet were €1.19 and €1.27 for the oral and €1.14 and €1.05 for the tablet, respectively (The lowest prices for the oral were for the tablet (<0.05) and for the tablet (The average price for the tablet was €1.23 and €1.08 for the oral and €1.08 and €1.12 and €1.16 for the tablet, respectively (
Conclusions
The oral drug is cheaper than the tablet (€1.27 per tablet).

Acamprosil, a substance used to treat alcoholism, is an anti-obesity drug that contains disulfiramethoxysilane (ADOT). It is used to treat chronic alcoholism.
The FDA says disulfiramethoxysilane is a drug that is approved for treating alcoholism.
“Alcoholism is a disease,” says Dr. Thomas M. Thompson, director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
“We have developed a treatment that is effective in treating alcoholism,” Thompson says.
The FDA says there are three types of alcohol consumption:
A. Alcoholic drinks that are considered “non-alcoholic”
B. Non-alcoholic drinks that are considered “alcoholic”
C. Alcoholic drinks that are considered “alcoholic”
D. Alcoholic drinks that are considered “acamprosil”
These alcohol products contain alcohol, which is a substance that has been used to help treat alcoholism.
The FDA says the disulfiramethoxysilane is an FDA-approved drug for treating alcoholism.
“The FDA has approved the drug disulfiramethoxysilane for use as an adjunct to medical therapy to treat alcoholism,” the FDA says. “As such, it is the first approved prescription medication for treating alcoholism.”
Dr. Thomas Thompson says that it’s important to keep in mind that disulfiramethoxysilane is not an anti-obesity drug. The FDA says it’s also not approved for the treatment of chronic alcoholism.
“Disulfiramethoxysilane is an FDA-approved drug used for the treatment of chronic alcoholism,” he says. “It’s one of the first medications for alcoholism to be approved for the treatment of chronic alcoholism.”
The FDA says the FDA is not a “cure for addiction” or a “reduction in risk” for addiction, because it does not regulate alcohol consumption. The FDA also says there are no studies that support the FDA’s findings that disulfiramethoxysilane can cause an increase in the levels of certain chemicals in the brain.
The FDA also says the drug may not be used to treat alcoholism if it is used in combination with other treatments for alcoholism. “Alcoholism does not have to be treated as a chronic disease,” Thompson says.
“It does have to be used as directed,” he says.
Thomas Thompson is director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.“The goal of treating alcoholism is to provide an effective treatment for alcoholism,” he says. “People who have a chronic disease or who are living with chronic alcoholism should be treated with the right medications for it, as well as an appropriate medical care for alcoholism.”
When it comes to the treatment of alcoholism, the FDA recommends the following medications, which are used to treat alcoholism:
Prescription drugs like:
Antabuse (disulfiramethoxysilane)
Lantus (disulfiramethoxysilane)
Varenicline (disulfiramethoxysilane)
Cimetidine (disulfiramethoxysilane)
There are a number of drugs that are used to treat alcohol abuse and alcoholism. These include:
Tramadol (disulfiramethoxysilane)
Methadone (disulfiramethoxysilane)
Ketoconazole (disulfiramethoxysilane)
Sibutramine (disulfiramethoxysilane)
Warfarin (disulfiramethoxysilane)
“It is important to emphasize that the FDA does not regulate alcohol abuse. This is because they don’t think the drug should be prescribed to people who have a chronic disease,” Thompson says.

Alcohol- and substance-dependent patientsIntroduction:The treatment of alcohol dependence and alcohol withdrawal is one of the most common treatment options for patients. Disulfiram, a commonly used medication, is effective in reducing alcohol consumption and the risk of relapse. This review summarizes the results of the recent meta-analysis on the effects of disulfiram and alcohol on alcohol withdrawal, and discusses the current research directions.
