In the treatment of alcoholism, co-treatment with an active agent capable of offsetting unwanted adverse clinical manifestations to the treatment itself, for example, negative drug adverse clinical manifestations, greatly increases patient compliance. Increasing patient compliance, in turn, creates a better success rate and decreased recidivism or relapse. The current invention combines the use of an opioid antagonist with at least one anticonvulsant for the treatment of alcoholism.
Selon l'invention, dans le traitement de l'alcoolisme, le cotraitement avec un agent actif pouvant compenser des signes cliniques indésirables liés au traitement lui-même, notamment des signes cliniques indésirables liés aux médicaments, accroît considérablement l'observance thérapeutique du patient. L'accroissement de l'observance thérapeutique du patient induit à son tour un meilleur taux de réussite et réduit la récidive ou la rechute. Les méthodes de l'invention associent un antagoniste opioïde et un agent anti-convulsion pour le traitement de l'alcoolisme.
