About Acamprol 333 mg

Acamprol 333 is used in treating alcohol dependence, a disease characterized by uncontrollable drinking and preoccupation with alcohol.

Acamprosate, the active salt in the medicine, is used to stop the cravings for alcohol in people who have already stopped drinking alcohol.

Acamprol (Acamprosate) 333 mg does not cure alcoholism. It helps in treating it when used with behavioral therapy and social support.

Acamprosate interacts with the brain's neurotransmitter systems.
