Which of the following medications can be used to treat alcohol addiction?&#10;A) Metronidazole&#10;B) Disulfiram&#10;C) Acamprosate&#10;D) Both B and C

Accepted Answer

Disulfiram is a medication that makes individuals feel sick if they drink alcohol, thus discouraging alcohol consumption. Acamprosate, on the other hand, helps reduce craving and the physical and emotional distress that comes with alcohol addiction. Therefore, the best choice(s) would be both B and C, as they address different aspects of alcohol addiction. Metronidazole is an antibiotic and is not used for the treatment of alcohol addiction.
