Good morning, 7 months after sewing 3 tablets of disulfiram I ate a bar with alcohol and there were no reactions, does it mean that the drug has stopped working?

Symptoms of the insert-alcohol interaction are observed depending on the amount of alcohol consumed and it is also impossible to predict how each patient using the drug will react. For some patients, a small dose of a narcotic substance is enough to activate the effect of the insert and cause a disulfiram reaction. Please remember that having Disulfiram sewn in, you should avoid not only alcoholic beverages, but also food products and medicines containing even small amounts of alcohol. Please pay attention to products such as: vinegar, also present in preserves, oral hygiene lotions, syrups, sauces, sweets, cosmetics and medicines. Typically, the duration of the tab varies from 8 to 12 months. However, you should go to the doctor during this time to check the therapy.
