Refusal drug

Sadly my mother is an alcohol addict and she has been in treatment for the past ~two months for it.
Anyways, I'm not content with her clinic but it can't really be changed. As it is now she can just go whenever she wants and in the weekends she's basically free.
I tried convincing her that staying there over the weekend was much better, but when there's no one there the place gets really depressing. Instead, she now comes home in the weekends.
I told her she could only come if she took a drug, called Refusal, which will make you so sick when you take alcohol you would almost want to kill yourself. I have told her explicitly I want to know exactly when these drugs wear off and I want to see them being taken.
Anyways, the drug came without any instructions attached and she claims she only needs to take one per day. I have completely lost every bit of faith in her so I need to know exactly how long these things work and what side effects they can have.
I thought she was already trying to cover up a possible attempt by saying the side effects could cause her to be really sick (same effects as taking alcohol).
The thing is, I can't find any information on this drug. When I google Refusal anti alcohol drug I get a lot of sites about alcohol anti alcohol etc. When I add the dosage (280mg) I also find nothing.
Is there any medical database I can check or something like that? Does anyone have experience with family members or friends taking a drug of the same sort?
I would appreciate any help in finding the specifics of this drug.

You westerners have so many fancy stuff, which reminds me of a joke
When Americans first when into space
Back where I cum from, you just get locked in a room until you are you cured of your addiction.

Can you post the active ingredient?
I can do a search about it.
It's not by that name in my "geneesmiddelen repertorium" but that doesn't mean anything.

http://www.hulpgids.nl/medicijnen/medic ... lfiram.htmHere you are.
Basicly:
First 2-3 days: 3 tablets/day
After that 1/2 - 1 tablet/day OR 2-3tablets twice/week
IIRC you're Dutch, thus the site should help thee.

Well it sucks that my mother is already lying to me, but at least I can make sure she gets the correct dosage now.

Sorry to hear this WoutR
Hope it will work out for you and your family, keep up with the strong attitude.
She will hopefully thank you for the rest of her life when she's sober.
As for the drug, never heard of it.
Wish you and your family all the best.

Seeing that I come from the same place as you, I do not agree with the statement. I would, however, bet that people would agree with me that you need to grow up.
Lives here and calls people "Westerners". Unless you were from Alaska...

She said needed to take 1/day which is correct after the first 3 days. Thus lying isn't really correct about that part.
Anyway "sterkte"
