Hello, No, Esperal contains Disulfiram. Alcohol disulfiram reaction had caused death even at dose as low as 30 ml of alcohol. Alcohol is not at all safe on disulfiram and should be avoided for at least 2 weeks after disulfiram use. Remember craving for alcohol is hardly for 30 minutes and if you can overcome that 30 minute by drinking water or diverting your mind in some other work you will be able to control craving. Take Care.
