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.
