Dennis is undergoing treatment to stop alcohol use. He cannot even take one alcoholic drink because he starts to feel sick and dizzy and feels like vomiting. Which drug is he using?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dennis is using Antabuse, which when combined with alcohol creates an unpleasant and potentially dangerous physical reaction to deter relapse. Naltrexone is also used to treat alcohol use disorder, but it works by reducing the pleasurable effects of alcohol, not causing adverse reactions. Halcion and Xanax are benzodiazepines used to treat anxiety and insomnia, not alcohol use disorder.
