Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Disulfiram is a medication commonly used in the treatment of alcohol addiction. It works by blocking the breakdown of alcohol in the body, causing a build-up of toxic byproducts that can make a person feel sick when they drink alcohol. The symptoms of disulfiram-alcohol reaction can include nausea, vomiting, headache, and flushing of the skin. Jess's experience of becoming nauseated after consuming alcohol suggests that she unknowingly took disulfiram instead of aspirin.
