HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It may be best, for now, to use all of the medication as prescribed.

Excess alcohol use is considered an illness and though you fully intend to not use alcohol, which is great, you and many other persons as well, often need extra help.
The help is to further reduce the chance of alcohol and also to help decrease any complications of the long use of alcohol.

The same way medication is needed and helpful for many other illnesses, it is also sometimes needed for this illness.

If you do not intend to use any alcohol, then there should be no problem with the use of the acampol.

I hope this helps and wish you the best
