Campral (acamprosate calcium) Delayed-Release Tablets are FDA-approved for the maintenance of abstinence from alcohol in patients with alcohol dependence who are abstinent at treatment initiation. Campral can be taken along with many commonly prescribed medications, including anxiolytics, hypnotics and sedatives, nonopioid pain killers and anti-depressants.
Campral Daily Dose: The recommended daily dose of Campral is two 333 mg tablets taken three times per day that you can take with your meals. Campral Side Effects: Some people have experienced side effects such as diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, gas, and itching. The most common side effect, diarrhea, usually resolved with time. Campral can be used by people with mild to moderate liver problems. How Campral Works: Campral helps reduce the physical distress and emotional discomfort (e.g. sweating, anxiety, sleep disturbances) associated with staying alcohol-free. This, in combination with counseling and support groups, makes it easier for people not to drink. Campral is a medication that helps people stay alcohol-free in combination with counseling or support groups once they have stopped drinking. Campral is thought to restore the normal brain balance, which has been disturbed in someone who is alcohol dependent. |
