Información bibliográfica Apr.-June 1992, No.120, p.22-26. Illus. 15 ref.
Resumen The ingestion of alcoholic drinks and the simultaneous ingestion of certain mushrooms, medical drugs and/or exposure to certain chemicals can produce a number of symptoms grouped together under the name Antabuse ® effect. This article lists the principal drugs and chemical substances known to produce this effect. Particular attention is paid to disulfiram, a substance widely used for the treatment of chronic alcoholism, but also used in agriculture as a fungicide and seed desinfectant and in the manufacturing of rubber. Other important substances concerned are dimethylformamide (an organic solvent, used in particular as a solvent for polyacrylonitrile), cyanamide and calcium cyanamide (used as fertilisers and in the synthesis of thiourea and sodium cyanamide), thrichloroethylene (used, among others, as a degreaser, an insecticide and in dry-cleaning establishments), carbon tetrachloride (a highly toxic solvent) and various oximes (anti-oxidants). For each substance, the symptoms of synergic exposure to alcohol are discussed, as are the appropriate treatment methods.
