Theophylline and the aminophylline bronchodilators are subjected to dose-related inhibitory metabolism by the action of disulfiram
Methods: For this narrative review, a PubMed search was conducted for articles addressing in vivo studies of disulfiram with an emphasis on drug repurposing for Introduction Alcohol deterrent; an aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor
Disulfiram produces very unpleasant side effects (such as fast heartbeat, chest pain, nausea, dizziness, flushing, and thirst) when combined with alcohol in the body
Information for this minor interaction is available on the professional version
The prolonged metabolism of caffeine in addition to the increased intake could further increase the effect on clozapine levels

Within minutes after alcohol is consumed, a combination of the following symptoms can occur: Headache

Antabuse causes blurred vision, chest pain, confusion, dizziness, flushing, headache, nausea, vomiting and weakness if taken within 12 hours after consuming alcohol, Drugs
· Notes for Professionals: Disulfiram has been shown to inhibit caffeine elimination

If a patient drinks alcohol on the drug, he or she will experience side effects like vomiting, seating, throbbing headache, confusion, and shortness of breath; removing the urge to drink
[1] Caffeine can be found in many over-the-counter preparations (energy drinks, appetite suppressants, stimulants, exercise supplements Disulfiram administration markedly inhibited chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylation by more than 95%, but did not affect metabolism of debrisoquine or mephenytoin
The association of disulfiram-like reaction with concomitant use of metronidazole and alcohol has been reported in the literature; however, alcohol containing oral liquids may not always be identified as a culprit
Patient recovering from chronic alcoholism and is taking disulfiram
Naltrexone (Trexan) and acamprosate (Campral) are recommended as FDA-approved options for treatment of alcohol dependence in conjunction with behavior therapy
Other drugs that have the The kinetics of caffeine elimination were investigated in 10 normal male subjects and in 11 recovering alcoholics before and during disulfiram dosing, finding that patients may have an increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebral excitation associated with higher concentrations of caffeine, which could complicate withdrawal from alcohol
However, the clearance of caffeine decreased by ≥50% after disulfiram in three of the 11 recovering alcoholics
Disulfiram (Antabuse) is a drug used to support the treatment of chronic alcoholism by producing an acute sensitivity to ethanol (alcohol)
-the lethality of the drug
It is a second-line option (acamprosate furthermore naltrexone are first-line treatments) in patients with sufficient clinical supervision
These effects begin about 10 minutes Background: Since disulfiram's discovery in the 1940s and its FDA approval for alcohol use disorder, other indications have been investigated
Patient with existing or history of seizure disorders, other known CV diseases, history of peptic ulcer and/or GERD, hypertension, agitation, tremor
Medications such as oral contraceptives, cimetidine (Tagamet), and disulfiram (Antabuse) can also affect excretion of caffeine

inhibited) The caffeine metabolic ratio was significantly reduced by 25%, while there were no effects on the other biomarker reactions
Avoid taking disulfiram with caffeine-containing products like coffee and tea as it can cause side effects including jitteriness, hyperactivity and irritability ( 2 Trusted Source Caffeine: Drug Interactions between caffeine and disulfiram
Major disulfiram Alcohol (Ethanol) Major Drug
Caffeine, certain antidepressants, and oral birth control pills can raise melatonin levels in the body
The body breaks down caffeine to get rid of it
The resulting possible elevation of serum concentrations of these medications has the potential to cause a corresponding toxicity
It is based on disulfiram and acetaminophen; aspirin; caffeine (the active ingredients of Disulfiram and Acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine, respectively), and Disulfiram and Acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine (the brand names)
Since it can cause interactions, patients who are on drug therapy should take caffeine with caution
Disulfiram in addition to increased intake of caffeine likely contributed to raising clozapine levels in this patient

Disulfiram should not be given concomitantly with paraldehyde because paraldehyde is metabolized to acetaldehyde in the liver
The association of disulfiram-like reaction with concomitant use of metronidazole and alcohol has been reported in the literature; however, alcohol containing oral liquids may not always be identified as a culprit
