Acamprosate Calcium 333mg

therapy to maintain abstinence in alcohol-dependent patients
Description:
Acamprosate Calcium 333 mg is a medication used in the maintenance of abstinence in alcohol-dependent patients who have already stopped drinking. It works by restoring the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly by modulating glutamate and GABA activity disrupted by chronic alcohol consumption.
Acamprosate does not prevent withdrawal symptoms or reduce cravings immediately. Instead, it helps maintain long-term abstinence when combined with counseling or psychosocial support.
It is not addictive and does not cause a "high," making it suitable for long-term use in alcohol rehabilitation programs.
Tags:
- Helps maintain abstinence after alcohol detox
- Non-addictive and well-tolerated
- Restores balance in brain neurotransmitters
- Suitable for long-term maintenance therapy
- Complements counseling and rehab programs
