How Acamprol Tablet works

Acamprosate modulates neurotransmission in the brain by reducing glutamatergic hyperexcitability and helping restore the balance between excitatory (glutamate) and inhibitory (GABA) pathways disrupted by chronic alcohol use. This reduces post-withdrawal cravings and discomfort, supporting continued abstinence.

Use as prescribed by a doctor. Typically started after alcohol detoxification/when abstinent. Tablets are swallowed whole with water; can be taken with or without food (taking with meals may improve tolerance). Do not crush/chew unless advised. Dose adjustment may be needed in kidney impairment.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
