		Also called sulfiram, Antabuse is nontoxic, but it alters the metabolism of alcohol in the body, making it impossible for one who is taking the drug to drink without experiencing severe discomfort.
		When alcohol is present the drug increases the concentration of acetaldehyde in the body, causing symptoms resembling those of a bad hangover: the individual feels hot, the face becomes flushed, the neck and head throb, and nausea, vomiting, and headache may follow.
		The therapeutic use of Antabuse was discovered in the 1930s when workers exposed to tetraethylthiuram disulfide, a chemical used in the rubber industry, became ill after drinking alcoholic beverages.

		The complaint is that the psychiatrist prescribed antabuse inappropriately for the consumer's medical condition from early January 1997 until early February 1997.
		In other words, the prescription of antabuse to [the consumer] would need to have been undertaken with great caution but may have been justified if his responsible clinician believed the risks were outweighed by the risks of continued drinking and its effects on his bipolar disorder.
		In regard to whether or not the psychiatrist should have prescibed antabuse at all, I consider that while the psychiatrist may have considered there were valid reasons for prescribing antabuse, in the consumer's case more caution should have been applied in using this form of treatment.
