Is Campral Safe While Withdrawing From Drinking Alcohol?

I am an alcoholic that stopped recently and have already detoxed. I m taking counseling now and do not want to go back to that lifestyle. I ve done research online and found the medicine Campral to help with not having the urge to drink anymore. This medicine seemed to less side affects than the other pills to stop drinking. What s your opinion and have you heard of these pills?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Campral is a brand name of drug Acamprosate. It shows good results in alcohol dependent patients and side effects are comparatively low. You have to take counselling sessions along with Campral for better results. Keep in mind that it has to be taken under the guidance of physician for better results, self treatment may cause more harm than benefits.

Wishing all the best.

Thanks.
