Patients receiving Lamprene may develop acute abdominal symptoms which simulate an abdominal emergency. Withdrawal of the drug relieves these symptoms. The absorption of Lamprene can be increased and deposition in the reticuloendothelial system as crystals can be avoided if it is administered in an alcoholic medium.
