Abstract
Abstract A composition and method for the prevention of alcohol-induced thirst and/or fatigue and/or nausea, as well as other less common after-effects resulting from excess alcohol ingestion wherein the composition is formulated to contain a dibenzocycloheptatriene derivative such as cyproheptadine and a lysergic acid derivative such as ergotamine. It has been found that these two classes of antagonists of 5-hydroxytryptamine act synergistically in minimizing or preventing an acute inflammatory reaction otherwise resulting from ingestion of excess alcohol.
