4. The medication will prevent your body from breaking down alcohol..

Rationale:
Disulfiram (Antabuse) is used in the management of clients with alcohol dependence. The medication will prevent the body from breaking down alcohol, and will cause illness if taken and alcohol is then ingested. The medication does not reduce the craving for alcohol, lessen anxiety, or prevent the onset of seizures.
