Nocbin powder 100g for chronic alcoholism

What is Nocbin Powder 100 g for chronic alcoholism?

An active principle of Nocbin Powder is disulfiram, a tetraethylthiuram disulfide. It works by inhibiting the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, which is involved in decomposing alcohol in the liver. As the result, Nocbin Powder provokes an acute sensitivity to alcohol, such as headaches, nausea, vomiting, and other unpleasant symptoms. It is used to treat chronic alcoholism.

Disulfiram has been clinically proven to be safe and effective medicine. It is primarily used to maintain abstinence by providing psychological support. When a patient occasionally takes alcohol, it causes unpleasant symptoms, similar to a very strong hangover, almost immediately. Moreover, some researches showed that disulfiram reduces dopamine beta-hydroxylase. That means that it reduces the pleasant feeling after drinking alcohol. 

Nocbin Powder for chronic alcoholism is highly effective in compliant patients or when the caregivers or doctors supervise the medication intake. It can also be used in conjunction with other abstinence-supportive pharmacological therapies.
