It’s worth noting that the use of this medicine may lead to mouth ulcers, and diarrhea may also occur. If diarrhea ensues, administering ‘Pulsatilla 30‘ helps alleviate it. When blisters develop, the use of Sulfuric Acid Q should be halted until they subside, and it can be resumed as needed to curb the inclination to consume alcohol.
