The alcohol-sensitizing drugs disulfiram and calcium carbimide are often used in the treatment of alcohol problems with the hope of reducing alcohol consumption. These drugs inhibit the liver enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase and, when taken prior to ethanol, produce an acetaldehyde-mediated aversive reaction. However, the drugs are unspecific, and several side effects may be related to their influence on other biochemical processes. These drugs are primarily pharmacological adjuncts and should be used in conjunction with behavioural and psychosocial therapies.
