After the Law on Prevention and Control of Alcoholism was enacted, many functional foods including alcohol alcohols appeared rampant. Described as a panacea, has anti-drunk and anti-alcohol effects. However, according to Ths.Bs Nguyen Van Nhom, users should be careful when using these candies.
Nguyen Van Nhom, MD, MS - Deputy Head of Intensive Care Unit (ICU), City International Hospital said that the mechanism of alcohol antidote is like the enzyme to transform alcohol to make users feel less drunk but in fact the drug does not reduce the concentration of alcohol in the blood. So, when drinking alcohol, substances harmful to the liver still exist and currently there is no medicine proving that there is no medicine to help detoxify the liver. The ingredients in the drug enhance enzyme metabolism, so depending on the drug, it can promote quite quickly, making the metabolism of alcohol faster.

For a safe solution, it is best to drink in moderation. When you drink a lot, no medicine helps detoxify the liver effectively. Abuse of drugs sometimes causes health risks.
- Do not abuse drugs, alcohol drinks candy.
- Do not drink excessively because it can be potentially dangerous in the long run.
- Antidote alcohol is only a functional food to help the process of detoxification faster than normal but still affects health.
Doctor Nguyen Van Nhom recommends that when taking any medicine, carefully check the origin, origin, expiry date and especially drugs / candies that are legally circulated licensed by the Ministry of Health. Do not be subjective and allow yourself to drink alcohol rampant when there is an antidote to alcohol.
