Abstract

Disulfiram is a drug commonly used in India for alcohol deaddiction. Due to its aversive nature of the reaction with alcohol, Patients tend to discontinue alcohol use. Usual clinical manifestations of disulfiram-ethanol reaction (also known as antabuse reaction) are generalized body warmth, urticaria, pruritus, conjunctival ingestion, light headedness, vertigo, nausea, vomiting. However here, we report a case of antabuse reaction mimicking NON ST ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION to emphasize the variability in its presentation and potential hazards associated with its use.
