🧬 What is Esperal 250 mg?

Esperal 250 mg contains Disulfiram, a well-known medication used in the management of chronic alcoholism. It works by blocking the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, leading to unpleasant symptoms (like flushing, nausea, palpitations) when alcohol is consumed. This reaction discourages patients from drinking alcohol.

Manufactured by Torrent Pharmaceuticals Ltd, one of India’s leading pharma companies, Esperal is a reliable and cost-effective alternative to its US counterpart Antabuse.
