Respected doctor,
I would like to know about the remedies or medicines for alcoholism for my husband who drinks a lot almost daily and has a bad habit of eating pan and ghutka. After all this, he abuses me and my daughter and family. I am fed up with his behavior. I request you to suggest any good medicine that can be given to him without him knowing.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The two main medications that can be used are Disulfiram (antabuse) 500 mg tablet once daily, and the other medication is used to reduce the craving (he must stop drinking first) which is Acamprosate 666 mg three times a day. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent.
The second issue, regarding the violence that you and your daughter encounter, you should seek support from the relatives or the responsible authorities.
