Acamprosate also known as N-acetyl homotaurine and by the brand name Campral is a drug used for treating alcohol dependence.Acamprosate is thought to stabilize the chemical balance in the brain that would otherwise be disrupted by alcoholism possibly by antagonizing glutaminergic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDA) and agonizing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A receptors.
