DISULFIRAM vs NALOXONE HYDROCHLORIDE NASAL

Hi guys! I know that in school we were taught that Flagyl and alcohol use produced a disulfiram reaction but in PUBMED they did a study in 2020 with a double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 12 people (I know the sample size is low) and " found no difference in aldehyde dehydrogenase levels betwe

I ordered some groceries today, but someone made a mistake. Instead of fruits, snacks, non-alcoholic beers, and other beverages, the courier delivered 6 bottles of regular beer and a package of potato chips. I thought I had my addiction under control; I even posted today about being sober for 50 da

*Long text* For the past decade, I’ve dedicated my life to researching, understanding, and overcoming chronic illness—primarily Lyme/Babesia infections and severe Candida overgrowth. My journey has been long and difficult, but I want to share what I’ve learned in the hope that it helps others. I’ve

It has been quite a journey, and I would be remiss if I did not thank this community for taking part in it alongside me. Over the last two years, and in the years before when I would quit for days, weeks, and months on end, I learned that there is no quick fix, no catch-all solution that can be appl

I am on rotations and I heard a pharmacist counseling on this. However, there have been reviews of the data and no apparent connection has been made. Apparently that was all based on a few case studies and the MOA doesn't suggest that it would cause disulfiram-like reaction. I know we've all heard t

Yesterday a patient's insurance (!!!) caught a drug interaction (he doesn't get the Disulfiram from my pharmacy, but bills it through the same insurance). This was a HARD STOP, pharmacist could not override type of interaction alert. Apparently Fluticasone nasal spray (Flonase) has a small amou

So on a recent road trip in Ohio, I came across a first for me. A vending machine outside of the Men’s bathroom full of one item,Naloxone nasal spray! I’ve seen the opioid overdose kits in the restrooms (this rest area had them as well) but not a freestanding vending machine near the entrance of the

Any pharmacists selling much naloxone? How is it being sold (kits, commercial products? Is anyone selling it as a compounded nasal spray? Just looking for options since the auto-injector is crazy expensive. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm a pharmacy tech at the 3 letter although not really relevant for what I'm going to ask. Like the title says, does anyone here know if you can get narcan without a prescription? My dad is going into a major surgery with a long recovery time, and even though I don't think anything will

Hi! Does your retail pharmacy carry nasal atomizers? I am working on a naloxone order set and am unsure if traditional retail or independent pharmacies keep these in stock. If you do, is there a charge to the patient and how much? Thanks!
