• History
• The behaviors and attitudes about alcohol use in
  India are very complex, contradictory and
  convoluted because of the many different
  influences in that history. The evolution of
  alcohol use patterns in India can be divided into
  four broad historical periods (time of written
  records), beginning with the Vedic era (ca.
  1500-700 BCE). From 700 BCE to 1100 CE,
  ("Reinterpretation and Synthesis") is the time of
  emergence of Buddhism and Jainism, with some new
  anti-alcohol doctrines, as well as post-Vedic
  developments in the Hindu traditions

Alcohol

•   What is alcohol? 
• Alcohol is a clear drink that is made from corn,
  barley, grain, rye, or a beverage containing
  ethyl.
• When a person drinks alcohol, about 20 percent is
  absorbed in the stomach, and 80 percent is
  absorbed in the small intestine. The
  concentration of alcohol, the type of drink, and
  whether the stomach is full or empty depends on
  how fast the alcohol is absorbed. Once the
  alcohol is absorbed into the tissue, it affects
  your mind and body. 
• Blood alcohol concentration can rise up to 20
  minutes after having a drink. After alcohol is
  absorbed it leaves the body in three ways the
  kidneys, lungs, and liver.

Alcohol

• How is it made?  Beer and  wine are called
  fermented beverages. They are made by adding
  yeast to a substance that contains sugar. The
  yeast starts the formation process, which turns
  sugar into ethyl and carbon dioxide gas. Beer is
  made from barley malt. The people who brew the
  beer soak the barley in water to make it sprout.
  When the barley dries, they take off the sprouts
  only leaving starch, or malt. The malt is ground
  up and mixed up with water to form mash. This is
  put into another mash which contains corn or rice
  that has been crushed and heated. The starch from
  corn or rice is then changed to sugar. Some dried
  flowers are added to the mash to add flavor, then
  the mash is fermented. Then the brewers age the
  beer for several weeks to add taste in the beer.
•              Another type of alcoholic beverage
  is called a distilled beverage. That is made from
  fermented grain mash or fermented juice.
  Distilled beverages include drinks such as
  whiskey, vodka, liqueurs, gin, rum, and other
  beverages.

  of choice to help addict to quit alcohol.
• But there is RED signal to use Disulfiram because
  of its severe side effects such as Skin Rash,
  Flushing, Swollen, Severe Vomiting, Nausea.

14
Kindly Know about Disulfiram

• You will agree that when there is no hope to help
  addict only one Molecule available which have
  savior side effects.
• But when nothing is available only hope is
  Disulfiram.
• Many claims in powder form with various known or
  unknown mixtures of herbal powder form but the
  side effects reveals that this contains
  Disulfiram.
• You will surprise to know the knowledge of many
  addicts that if they get skin rash or vomiting
  they know that something is given in their food
  which causes this effects and then they stop
  taking food at home because they simply dont
  want to quit alcohol.

15
Lets have a fresh look at Side effectss of

  tongue, or face shortness of breath closing of
  your throat or hives) seizures  extreme
  tiredness
• Dark urine
• Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)

16
Other, less serious side effects with Disulfiram

• .may be more likely to occur. Continue to take
  Disulfiram and talk to your doctor if you
  experience
• Skin rash or acne
• Mild headaches
• Mild drowsiness or tiredness
• Impotence
• Metallic taste in the mouth or
• Swollen or sore tongue.
• Side effects other than those listed here may
  also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side
  effect that seems unusual or that is especially
  bothersome.

17
Other, less serious side effects with Disulfiram

• Disulfiram inhibits the metabolism of
  acetaldehyde, a breakdown product of alcohol.
  Acetaldehyde formation is at least partially
  responsible for the reaction. The "disulfiram
  reaction" generally occurs within 15 minutes of
  ingestion of alcohol and persists as long as
  alcohol is present in the system.
• In very few cases this is lethal to addicts,
  generally when higher dosages are given. Patients
  should not receive disulfiram until 12 hours
  after any alcohol ingestion. Disulfiram reactions
  may occur up to two weeks after disulfiram has
  been discontinued.
• The ingestion of alcohol in patients pretreated
  with disulfiram generally results in an
  unpleasant reaction referred to as a "disulfiram
  reaction". Elements of this reaction may include
  any of the following flushing, throbbing in the
  head and neck, headache, nausea, vomiting,
  sweating, thirst, chest pain, palpitations,
  dyspnea, hyperventilation, tachycardia,
  confusion, arrhythmias, and convulsions.

18
Disulfiram damages Liver

• Disulfiram-induced hepatitis has been confirmed
  by rechallenge in several cases. The development
  of hepatitis has been reported to occur within 2
  weeks to several months of beginning disulfiram.
  Liver biopsy frequently demonstrates fibrosis,
  liver cell necrosis, eosinophilic infiltrates,
  and portal inflammation. Disulfiram-induced
  hepatitis appears to be due to hypersensitivity,
  although extrahepatic signs of hypersensitivity
  are not always apparent. Baseline liver function
  tests should be obtained and monitored
  periodically during the first several months of
  therapy. In addition, patients should be educated
  about the symptoms of hepatitis. Disulfiram
  therapy should be discontinued promptly if liver
  function deteriorates.
• Hepatic side effects have included cases of acute
  hepatitis accompanied by fatigue, malaise,
  anorexia, nausea, abdominal pain, and jaundice.
  Although hepatic function has returned to normal
  over several weeks in some patients, liver
  failure and death has also been
  reported.Subcutaneous deposits of carotene
  which simulate jaundice has been reported in a
  55-year-old man who presented with yellow palms
  of the hands and the sole of the feet within 2
  months of the start of disulfiram.

19
Disulfiram also causes neurological dmages

• Nervous system side effects have included
  lethargy,
• confusion,
• personality changes,
• disorientation, and
• memory impairment. These effects may develop
  after weeks or months of disulfiram therapy.
• This has progressed to seizures (in the absence
  of a disulfiram-alcohol reaction), psychosis,
  catatonia and encephalopathy.Neuropathy,
  generally affecting the lower extremities, occurs
  rarely in patients. The upper body extremities
  may become involved if neuropathy progresses.
  Optic neuritis has also been reported.
  Development appears to occur earlier with higher
  dosages. Neuropathy generally resolves over
  several weeks after discontinuation of
  disulfiram, and full recovery may require several
  months.
• Reports of seizures, psychosis, catatonia, and
  encephalopathy usually follow several weeks of
  higher doses of disulfiram. The incidence appears
  to be lower with decreased maintenance dosages.
  Disulfiram is an inhibitor of dopamine-beta-hydrox
  ylase which converts dopamine to norepinephrine.
  Therefore disulfiram effectively lowers levels of
  norepinephrine and increases concentrations of
  dopamine which may facilitate encephalopathy and
  other adverse effects on the nervous
  system.Neuropathy associated with disulfiram is
  similar in appearance to that associated with
  alcohol abuse.

20
Disulfiram also causes neurological damages

• Neuropathy primarily involves axonal degeneration
  and affects both sensory and motor nerves. It
  appears to develop somewhat faster than
  alcohol-induced neuropathy and develops in the
  absence of ongoing alcohol use. A metabolite of
  disulfiram, carbon disulfide, has been shown to
  be neurotoxic and may be involved in the
  development of neuropathy.
• Neuropathy, generally affecting the lower
  extremities, occurs rarely in patients. T
• he upper body extremities may become involved if
  neuropathy progresses.
• Optic neuritis has also been reported.
  Development appears to occur earlier with higher
  dosages.
• Neuropathy generally resolves over several weeks
  after discontinuation of disulfiram, and full
  recovery may require several months.

21
Disulfiram also causes Dermatologic reactions.
Dermatologic Dermatologic side effects have
include maculopapular rashes. Patients with a
sensitivity to tetramethylthiuram disulfide,
present in rubber products, may show
cross-sensitivity to disulfiram.
22
Disulfiram also causes Gastro Intestinal Side
effects.

• Gastrointestinal
• Gastrointestinal side effects have included an
  unpleasant metallic or garlic-like taste in the
  mouth and bad breath.

23
DISULFIRAM SIDE EFFECTS

• Ocular (EYE RELATED)
• Ocular side effects have included optic neuritis.
  It appears to occur earlier with higher dosages
  and generally resolves over several weeks after
  discontinuation of disulfiram. Full recovery may
  require several months

24

for de-adiction from alcohol they need to have a
safer alternative without any side effects.
