  • History
  • The behaviors and attitudes about alcohol use in
    India are very complex, contradictory and
    convoluted because of the many different
    influences in that history. The evolution of
    alcohol use patterns in India can be divided into
    four broad historical periods (time of written
    records), beginning with the Vedic era (ca.
    1500-700 BCE). From 700 BCE to 1100 CE,
    ("Reinterpretation and Synthesis") is the time of
    emergence of Buddhism and Jainism, with some new
    anti-alcohol doctrines, as well as post-Vedic
    developments in the Hindu traditions

Alcohol
  •   What is alcohol? 
  • Alcohol is a clear drink that is made from corn,
    barley, grain, rye, or a beverage containing
    ethyl.
  • When a person drinks alcohol, about 20 percent is
    absorbed in the stomach, and 80 percent is
    absorbed in the small intestine. The
    concentration of alcohol, the type of drink, and
    whether the stomach is full or empty depends on
    how fast the alcohol is absorbed. Once the
    alcohol is absorbed into the tissue, it affects
    your mind and body. 
  • Blood alcohol concentration can rise up to 20
    minutes after having a drink. After alcohol is
    absorbed it leaves the body in three ways the
    kidneys, lungs, and liver.

5
Alcohol
  • How is it made?  Beer and  wine are called
    fermented beverages. They are made by adding
    yeast to a substance that contains sugar. The
    yeast starts the formation process, which turns
    sugar into ethyl and carbon dioxide gas. Beer is
    made from barley malt. The people who brew the
    beer soak the barley in water to make it sprout.
    When the barley dries, they take off the sprouts
    only leaving starch, or malt. The malt is ground
    up and mixed up with water to form mash. This is
    put into another mash which contains corn or rice
    that has been crushed and heated. The starch from
    corn or rice is then changed to sugar. Some dried
    flowers are added to the mash to add flavor, then
    the mash is fermented. Then the brewers age the
    beer for several weeks to add taste in the beer.
  •              Another type of alcoholic beverage
    is called a distilled beverage. That is made from
    fermented grain mash or fermented juice.
    Distilled beverages include drinks such as
    whiskey, vodka, liqueurs, gin, rum, and other
    beverages.

  • Alcohol is metabolized in the liver.
  • Liver is the organ responsible for proper
    metabolism and immunity in the body.
  • After prolonged consumption of alcohol liver is
    severely damaged and loses its power to deal with
    toxins.
  • Cirrhosis of liver is most common.
  • The toxins then increase in the body and brings
    an imbalance in the system.

How to Quit Alcohol? (Disulfiram)
  • Every body knows that Disulfiram is the Molecule
    of choice to help addict to quit alcohol.
  • But there is RED signal to use Disulfiram because
    of its severe side effects such as Skin Rash,
    Flushing, Swollen, Severe Vomiting, Nausea.

14
Kindly Know about Disulfiram
  • You will agree that when there is no hope to help
    addict only one Molecule available which have
    savior side effects.
  • But when nothing is available only hope is
    Disulfiram.
  • Many claims in powder form with various known or
    unknown mixtures of herbal powder form but the
    side effects reveals that this contains
    Disulfiram.
  • You will surprise to know the knowledge of many
    addicts that if they get skin rash or vomiting
    they know that something is given in their food
    which causes this effects and then they stop
    taking food at home because they simply dont
    want to quit alcohol.

15
Lets have a fresh look at Side effectss of
Disulfiram
  • An allergic reaction (swelling of your lips,
    tongue, or face shortness of breath closing of
    your throat or hives) seizures  extreme
    tiredness
  • Dark urine
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
  • Large appetite changes
  • Weakness, dizziness or loss of coordination or
  • Severe diarrhea or vomiting.
  • Other, less serious side effects may be more
    likely to occur. Continue to take Disulfiram.

16
Other, less serious side effects with Disulfiram
  • .may be more likely to occur. Continue to take
    Disulfiram and talk to your doctor if you
    experience
  • Skin rash or acne
  • Mild headaches
  • Mild drowsiness or tiredness
  • Impotence
  • Metallic taste in the mouth or
  • Swollen or sore tongue.
  • Side effects other than those listed here may
    also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side
    effect that seems unusual or that is especially
    bothersome.

17
Other, less serious side effects with Disulfiram
  • Disulfiram inhibits the metabolism of
    acetaldehyde, a breakdown product of alcohol.
    Acetaldehyde formation is at least partially
    responsible for the reaction. The "disulfiram
    reaction" generally occurs within 15 minutes of
    ingestion of alcohol and persists as long as
    alcohol is present in the system.
  • In very few cases this is lethal to addicts,
    generally when higher dosages are given. Patients
    should not receive disulfiram until 12 hours
    after any alcohol ingestion. Disulfiram reactions
    may occur up to two weeks after disulfiram has
    been discontinued.
  • The ingestion of alcohol in patients pretreated
    with disulfiram generally results in an
    unpleasant reaction referred to as a "disulfiram
    reaction". Elements of this reaction may include
    any of the following flushing, throbbing in the
    head and neck, headache, nausea, vomiting,
    sweating, thirst, chest pain, palpitations,
    dyspnea, hyperventilation, tachycardia,
    confusion, arrhythmias, and convulsions.

18
Disulfiram damages Liver
  • Disulfiram-induced hepatitis has been confirmed
    by rechallenge in several cases. The development
    of hepatitis has been reported to occur within 2
    weeks to several months of beginning disulfiram.
    Liver biopsy frequently demonstrates fibrosis,
    liver cell necrosis, eosinophilic infiltrates,
    and portal inflammation. Disulfiram-induced
    hepatitis appears to be due to hypersensitivity,
    although extrahepatic signs of hypersensitivity
    are not always apparent. Baseline liver function
    tests should be obtained and monitored
    periodically during the first several months of
    therapy. In addition, patients should be educated
    about the symptoms of hepatitis. Disulfiram
    therapy should be discontinued promptly if liver
    function deteriorates.
  • Hepatic side effects have included cases of acute
    hepatitis accompanied by fatigue, malaise,
    anorexia, nausea, abdominal pain, and jaundice.
    Although hepatic function has returned to normal
    over several weeks in some patients, liver
    failure and death has also been
    reported.Subcutaneous deposits of carotene
    which simulate jaundice has been reported in a
    55-year-old man who presented with yellow palms
    of the hands and the sole of the feet within 2
    months of the start of disulfiram.

19
Disulfiram also causes neurological dmages
  • Nervous system side effects have included
    lethargy,
  • confusion,
  • personality changes,
  • disorientation, and
  • memory impairment. These effects may develop
    after weeks or months of disulfiram therapy.
  • This has progressed to seizures (in the absence
    of a disulfiram-alcohol reaction), psychosis,
    catatonia and encephalopathy.Neuropathy,
    generally affecting the lower extremities, occurs
    rarely in patients. The upper body extremities
    may become involved if neuropathy progresses.
    Optic neuritis has also been reported.
    Development appears to occur earlier with higher
    dosages. Neuropathy generally resolves over
    several weeks after discontinuation of
    disulfiram, and full recovery may require several
    months.
  • Reports of seizures, psychosis, catatonia, and
    encephalopathy usually follow several weeks of
    higher doses of disulfiram. The incidence appears
    to be lower with decreased maintenance dosages.
    Disulfiram is an inhibitor of dopamine-beta-hydrox
    ylase which converts dopamine to norepinephrine.
    Therefore disulfiram effectively lowers levels of
    norepinephrine and increases concentrations of
    dopamine which may facilitate encephalopathy and
    other adverse effects on the nervous
    system.Neuropathy associated with disulfiram is
    similar in appearance to that associated with
    alcohol abuse.

20
Disulfiram also causes neurological damages
  • Neuropathy primarily involves axonal degeneration
    and affects both sensory and motor nerves. It
    appears to develop somewhat faster than
    alcohol-induced neuropathy and develops in the
    absence of ongoing alcohol use. A metabolite of
    disulfiram, carbon disulfide, has been shown to
    be neurotoxic and may be involved in the
    development of neuropathy.
  • Neuropathy, generally affecting the lower
    extremities, occurs rarely in patients. T
  • he upper body extremities may become involved if
    neuropathy progresses.
  • Optic neuritis has also been reported.
    Development appears to occur earlier with higher
    dosages.
  • Neuropathy generally resolves over several weeks
    after discontinuation of disulfiram, and full
    recovery may require several months.

21
Disulfiram also causes Dermatologic reactions.
Dermatologic Dermatologic side effects have
include maculopapular rashes. Patients with a
sensitivity to tetramethylthiuram disulfide,
present in rubber products, may show
cross-sensitivity to disulfiram.
22
Disulfiram also causes Gastro Intestinal Side
effects.
  • Gastrointestinal
  • Gastrointestinal side effects have included an
    unpleasant metallic or garlic-like taste in the
    mouth and bad breath.

23
DISULFIRAM SIDE EFFECTS
  • Ocular (EYE RELATED)
  • Ocular side effects have included optic neuritis.
    It appears to occur earlier with higher dosages
    and generally resolves over several weeks after
    discontinuation of disulfiram. Full recovery may
    require several months

24
This is obvious that whom so ever want to work
for de-adiction from alcohol they need to have a
safer alternative without any side effects.
