In the pharmaceutical industry, tablets used in the context of alcohol are categorized based on whether the goal is cessation (quitting), withdrawal management, or supportive recovery.

As a pharmacist and entrepreneur, you likely encounter these specialized molecules within your manufacturing and trading operations in Mumbai.

These medications are designed to help patients maintain abstinence by altering the body’s physiological or psychological response to alcohol.

Disulfiram (Deterrent): This tablet causes a severe physical reaction (nausea, flushing, racing heart) if alcohol is consumed, acting as a powerful deterrent.
Naltrexone (Craving Reducer): It blocks the “reward” or euphoric feeling associated with drinking, helping to reduce the urge to consume alcohol.
Acamprosate (Brain Balancer): This is used to stabilize brain chemistry that has been disrupted by long-term alcohol use, helping to prevent relapse.

During the initial detox phase, the “best” tablets are those that prevent life-threatening complications like seizures or delirium tremens.

Chlordiazepoxide: Often considered the gold standard for alcohol withdrawal, this long-acting benzodiazepine provides a “smooth” tapering effect.
Diazepam: Another long-acting benzodiazepine used to control acute agitation and prevent withdrawal-related seizures.

Chronic alcohol use often leads to severe nutritional deficiencies that require pharmaceutical intervention.

Vitamin B-Complex (Thiamine): Critical for preventing Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, a serious brain disorder caused by thiamine deficiency in heavy drinkers.
Metadoxine: Used in some markets to accelerate the clearance of alcohol from the blood in cases of acute intoxication.

From a production and B2B standpoint at your WHO-GMP facility in Mumbai:

Controlled Substance Compliance: Molecules like Chlordiazepoxide and Diazepam are controlled substances. Highlighting your firm’s capability to handle Schedule H/NDPS narcotics with strict regulatory compliance is a major selling point for international hospital tenders.
Stability for Export: Many of these actives are light-sensitive. Utilizing Alu-Alu blister packaging ensures a 36-month shelf life, which is essential for export to Zone IVb tropical regions.
Digital Promotion: For your marketplace, position Disulfiram as a “Family-Supportive Therapy” and Thiamine as “Essential Neuro-Nutrition” to attract different B2B segments.
Dossier Support: Providing full CTD/eCTD Dossiers supports your firm’s registration in international markets like Southeast Asia and Africa.
