45 results about "Drug withdrawal syndrome" patented technology

Definition Withdrawal syndrome occurs in drug and alcohol addicted individuals who discontinue or reduce the use of their drug of choice. This process of eliminating drugs and alcohol from the body is known as detoxification. Drugs and alcohol affect mood by altering brain chemistry, specifically the production of neurotransmitters.

Opioid agonist/antagonist combinations

The invention is directed in part to oral dosage forms comprising a combination of an orally analgesically effective amount of an opioid agonist and an orally active opioid antagonist, the opioid antagonist being included in a ratio to the opioid agonist to provide a combination product which is analgesically effective when the combination is administered orally, but which is aversive in a physically dependent subject. Preferably, the amount of opioid antagonist included in the combination product provides at least a mildly negative, "aversive" experience in physically dependent addicts (e.g., precipitated abstinence syndrome).

Protein kinase c epsilon as modulator of anxiety, alcohol consumption and self-administration of drugs of abuse

The present invention is directed to the production of PKC isozyme epsi (PKCepsi)-deficient cells and non-human animals. The present invention is further directed to the identification of PKCepsi as a target for drugs that reduce anxiety. According to the present invention, PKCepsi-inhibiting compounds act in synergy with drugs acting at the GABAA receptor. The present invention is also directed to the use of modulators of PKCepsi to modulate alcohol consumption, self-administration of other drugs of abuse, and the effects of alcohol consumption as well as the use of inhibitors of PKCepsi, either alone or in conjunction with allosteric agonists of GABAA receptors, to treat conditions, such as addiction, withdrawal syndrome, skeletal muscle spasms, convulsive seizures, and epilepsy, that are amenable to treatment by allosteric agonists of GABAA receptors. Additional aspects of the present invention are diagnostic methods for identifying individuals at risk for becoming alcoholics or abusers of other drugs and kits for performing such diagnostic methods. The present invention relates to: cells and non-human animals deficient for the PKC isozyme epsi (PKCepsi); the use of PKCepsi as a target for drugs; the use of inhibitors of PKCepsi in methods of reducing anxiety and treating conditions associated with insufficient activity of the GABAA receptor; the use of modulators of PKCepsi in methods of modulating alcohol consumption, modulating self-administration of other drugs of abuse, and altering the effects of alcohol; pharmaceutical compositions comprising inhibitors of PKCepsi and allosteric agonists of GABAA receptors; and the identification of individuals with enhanced susceptibility to alcoholism or other forms of addiction.

Treatment of dependence withdrawal

ActiveUS20060240085A1Alleviate withdrawal symptomsBiocideNervous disorderRegimenDrug withdrawal syndrome
Dosage regimens of buprenorphine to treat withdrawal or abstinence syndrome in a drug dependent or opioid tolerant patient who is pregnant are described. The method includes treating withdrawal or abstinence syndrome of the patient by transdermal administration of an amount of buprenorphine effective to reduce withdrawal symptoms. For example, a first buprenorphine-containing transdermal dosage form for a second dosing period that is no more than about 5 days, the second dosage form comprising the same or a greater dosage of buprenorphine than the first dosage form; and a third buprenorphine-containing transdermal dosage form for a third dosing period that is at least 2 days, the third dosage form comprising the same or a greater dosage of buprenorphine than the second dosage form.
