How dehydrated alcohol is dosed
From the FDA label for Ablysinol (application NDA207987). Other dehydrated alcohol products — different forms, different strengths — are dosed differently. Follow the label for the one you were prescribed.
Inject small volumes over 1 to 2 minutes percutaneously into septal arterial branches, using the minimal dose necessary to achieve the desired reduction in peak left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient. ( 2.1 ) In most situations, a dose of 1 mL to 2 mL is sufficient. The maximum dose that should be used in a single procedure is 5 mL. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosing Use the minimum dose necessary to achieve the desired reduction in peak left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient. Inject small volumes over 1 to 2 minutes percutaneously into septal arterial branches, guided by assessment of the gradient. In most situations, a dose of 1 mL to 2 mL is sufficient. The maximum dose of ABLYSINOL that should be used in a single procedure is 5 mL. 2.2 Administration ABLYSINOL should only be administered under the supervision of a qualified interventional cardiologist experienced in the percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation procedure. Inspect visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. ABLYSINOL should appear as a clear, colorless solution.

What people report to the FDA about dehydrated alcohol
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 32 reports naming dehydrated alcohol, and the FDA flagged 78% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- corneal opacity4 reports
- product complaint4 reports
- eye swelling3 reports
- fibrosis3 reports
- hypotension3 reports
- impaired healing3 reports
- myocardial infarction3 reports
- ocular hyperaemia3 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean dehydrated alcohol caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.

Frequently asked questions
What is dehydrated alcohol?
Ablysinol (Dehydrated Alcohol) is a medication used to treat Complex Regional Pain Syndromes.
Can you take dehydrated alcohol with other medicines?
It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run dehydrated alcohol against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.
What forms does dehydrated alcohol come in?
Across the brands we track, dehydrated alcohol is currently marketed as injectable, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.
Is there a generic dehydrated alcohol?
We do not currently list a generic-labelled dehydrated alcohol product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
