Abstract
The use of metronidazole as an adjunct to treatment in alcoholism was first reported by Taylor (1964). Her study of 52 alcoholics led Taylor to suggest three effects of metronidazole in alcoholism—a reduction of craving for alcohol, a psychic aversion to alcohol, and in some cases an antabuse-like response.Keywords
