  • Alcohol dependence support
  • Maintenance of sobriety

Driving

Alcohol

Alcohol

You must completely avoid alcohol in all forms while taking Recopil and for 14 days after stopping. Mixing Recopil with alcohol causes a severe reaction with nausea, vomiting, chest pain, and potentially serious effects.

Take this tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole with water. Recopil can be taken with or without food. Take Recopil for as long as your doctor recommends to support your recovery. Your doctor may suggest taking this medicine with food to reduce nausea.

Storage and disposal

Store this medicine at room temperature, away from heat and moisture. Keep it in the original container and out of reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date.

Quick Tips

  • You must be completely sober and alcohol-free for at least 12 hours before taking your first dose
  • The effects of Recopil last for up to 2 weeks after stopping the medicine, so avoid alcohol for 14 days after your last dose
  • Carry an emergency medical card stating you are taking this medicine
  • Attend regular blood tests to monitor your liver function

Dosage

Overdose

If you have taken too much Recopil, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital. Symptoms of overdose may include severe nausea, vomiting, dizziness, loss of coordination, or unusual drowsiness.

Missed a Dose

If you missed a dose of Recopil, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double tablet to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Recopil blocks the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, which normally helps break down alcohol in your body. If you drink alcohol while taking Recopil, the alcohol builds up to toxic levels, causing an unpleasant reaction. This discourages drinking and helps people maintain abstinence from alcohol.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect how Recopil works. Tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking. In particular, avoid taking this medicine with blood thinners like warfarin, as the combination may increase bleeding risk. Medicines for seizures, diabetes, and certain antibiotics may also interact with Recopil. Always inform your doctor about any other medications before taking Recopil.

Interactions with food items

Avoid all forms of alcohol while taking Recopil, including beers, wines, spirits, non-alcoholic beers, and even small amounts in food like vinegars, cooking wines, sauces, and desserts. Many over-the-counter products like mouthwashes, hand sanitizers, and cough syrups contain alcohol and should be avoided or checked with your pharmacist.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

You must wait at least 14 days after your last dose of Recopil before consuming any alcohol. The medicine remains active in your body for up to 2 weeks, and drinking during this time can still trigger a severe reaction.
Even small amounts of alcohol mixed with Recopil cause an unpleasant reaction including nausea, vomiting, chest pain, headache, and flushing. Severe cases may require emergency medical care.
