Key Benefits:
- Reduces Alcohol Cravings: Acamprol helps to curb the intense desire to drink alcohol, making it easier for individuals to maintain sobriety after they have quit drinking.

How Acamprol Tablet Works:
Acamprol contains Acamprosate, which is believed to help stabilize the chemical balance in the brain of individuals recovering from alcohol dependence. It works by:
- Blocking glutaminergic N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, which are involved in alcohol craving and dependency.
- Activating gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A receptors, which help reduce the cravings and improve the mental stability required for recovery.
Directions for Use:
- Take with food: Acamprol Tablet should be taken with food as this helps improve absorption and reduces stomach irritation.
- Consistency is important: Take the medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip doses and complete the full course of treatment to maintain the desired effects.
- If you miss a dose: Take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Never take two doses at once.
- Do not stop suddenly: Do not stop taking Acamprol abruptly without consulting your doctor, as this may interfere with your recovery process.
