Problems solved by technology

The use of narcotics to deprive consciousness so that addicts can go through the withdrawal period without pain is also a treatment method. However, these drugs and methods can only treat symptoms and temporarily relieve the withdrawal symptoms caused by nerve excitation such as NE and Ach energy.
[0013] Most of the above-mentioned treatment methods can better solve the physical dependence caused by addiction, but they are not satisfied with the curative effect on psychological dependence. Therefore, it is urgent to find a treatment that can better solve psychological dependence and reduce the relapse rate

Abstract

The invention relates to an application of Lorcaserin hydrochloride in preparation of a medicine for inhibiting opioid addiction and withdrawal syndrome. The Lorcaserin hydrochloride is approved to be a weight-reducing aid by the America Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2012. The Lorcaserin hydrochloride is a 5-hydroxytryptamine 5-HT2C receptor stimulant with high selectivity. The latest research of the invention finds that the Lorcaserin hydrochloride (0.5-1.0mg.kg<-1>) greatly reduces the naloxone-urged horizontal motion distance and speed of a morphine dependent mice and the withdrawal syndrome of the mice. It is found in the invention for the first time that the Lorcaserin hydrochloride can be applied clinically for rescuing and treating addiction and withdrawal syndrome generated by morphine and other opiates.
