Acamprosate Calcium (calcium bis-acetylhomotaurinate) is a neuromodulator on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines for alcohol dependence. Chronic alcohol exposure disrupts the balance between central excitation and inhibition; acamprosate restores this equilibrium by antagonizing hyperactive NMDA glutamate receptors and modulating GABAA neurotransmission, substantially reducing post-abstinence neurobiological craving and withdrawal distress. Indicated for the maintenance of abstinence from alcohol in alcohol-dependent patients.
