Special Advise

  • It is recommended to monitor liver function tests regularly.
  • Patients should be opioid-free for at least 7-10 days before initiating the treatment.
  • Strictly warn patients against the use of opioids while on Nalcres-MD 50 Tablet 10's.
  • Monitor for injection-site reactions.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • A patient is advised to have a diet that increases serotonin levels which makes a person feel good & involves eating foods high in carbohydrates, especially the complex carbohydrates present in starchy food items like legumes (e.g., beans, lentils and peas), root vegetables (e.g., potatoes and carrots), pasta and bread. Eating such foods in combination with protein in meals will benefit.
  • Deficiencies in B-complex vitamins such as thiamine, folate or folic acid, and B12 are common with alcoholism, and inadequate stores of other B vitamins and vitamin C frequently occur. A patient should consume supplements and vitamins as per their doctor's recommendation.
  • Malnutrition is common during alcohol consumption and is revealed slowly and gradually. The patient becomes very tired and develops a weaker immune system, which means the patient is more susceptible to infections. These problems need to be identified and treated during the recovery process—ideally by a team of healthcare professionals.
  • The patient should change his drinking priorities and prefer drinks like apple cider, vanilla shake, mixing juice or lemonade with sparkling water etc.
  • Get physical activity and enough rest.
  • Reduce caffeine and stop smoking, if possible.
