Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My friend is an alcoholic and abusive man. He often repeats his mistakes. Kindly suggest me some medicines that can be given to him with food to improve his condition. kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

Alcohol abuse is an illness, not just a habit. There are very good treatment options available for this. Alcohol has a deterrent effect on a person's brain and induces several psychiatric problems. Hence we need to treat this disease. In your friend's case, a medicine is available that causes a reaction. For example, if a person takes alcohol after taking medicine, the reaction would be severe. Kindly consult a psychiatrist, talk to them, and take medications with their consent.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
