Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antabuse (disulfiram) is a medication that causes unpleasant side effects such as flushing, nausea, and palpitations if alcohol is consumed while taking it. This reaction is intended to deter individuals from drinking while on the medication. Methadone is not used to treat alcoholism, but rather is a medication used to treat opioid addiction. Valtrex is an antiviral medication used to treat herpes infections, and naltrexone is a medication used to treat opioid and alcohol dependence, but it does not have the same aversive effects on the body when alcohol is consumed as Antabuse does.
