摘要: ABSTRACTIntroduction: Few pharmacotherapies are available for alcoholism. Numerous studies indicate the involvement of opioid-endorphin system in mediating reinforcing effects alcohol via dopaminergic neurons. The opioid antagonist naltrexone was found to be effective treatment, and European Medicines Agency has now approved mu-opioid und partial kappa agonist nalmefene.Areas covered: This article presents background information on chemistry nalmefene pre-clinical clinical findings. three relevant Phase III studies, all which followed a harm-reduction, “as needed” approach reduced consumption with 18 (20) mg, discussed detail.Expert opinion: integration into conventional psychosocial therapies may challenging but offers opportunity reach otherwise not treated patients. Nalmefene is first medication specifically this indication seems t...
