  • Acamprosate Pharmaceutical Form(S)/Strength: Gastro-Resistant Tablet P-RMS: IE/H/PSUR/0011/002 Date of FAR: 09.02.2012 4.3 Contraindications
    Core Safety Profile Active substance: Acamprosate Pharmaceutical form(s)/strength: Gastro-resistant tablet P-RMS: IE/H/PSUR/0011/002 Date of FAR: 09.02.2012 4.3 Contraindications {Tradename} is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to acamprosate or to any of the excipients. Acamprosate is contraindicated in patients with renal impairment (serum creatinine >120 micromol/l), breastfeeding women (see section 4.6) 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use The safety and efficacy of {Tradename} has not been established in patients younger than 18 years or older than 65 years. {Tradename} is therefore not recommended for use in these populations. The safety and efficacy of {Tradename} has not been established in patients with severe liver insufficiency (Childs-Pugh Classification C). Because the interrelationship between alcohol dependence, depression and suicidality is well recognised and complex, it is recommended that alcohol-dependent patients, including those treated with acamprosate, be monitored for respective symptoms. Abuse and dependence Non-clinical studies suggest that acamprosate has little or no abuse potential. No evidence of dependence on acamprosate was found in any clinical study thus demonstrating that acamprosate has no significant dependence potential. 4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction No change in the frequency of clinical and/or biological adverse reactions has been shown when acamprosate is used concomitantly with disulfiram, oxazepam, tetrabamate or meprobamate. In clinical trials, acamprosate has been safely administered in combination with antidepressants, anxiolytics, hypnotics and sedatives, and non-opioid analgesics. The concomitant intake of alcohol and {Tradename} does not affect the pharmacokinetics of either alcohol or acamprosate.

    SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS, LABELLING AND PACKAGE LEAFLET 1 SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 2 1. NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Acamprosate 333 mg Gastro-resistant Tablets. 2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each gastro-resistant tablet contains acamprosate calcium 333.0 mg as the active ingredient. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Gastro-resistant tablet. White, round, biconvex coated tablet with “M” over “AC” printed in black ink on one side of the tablet and blank on the other side. 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 Therapeutic indications Acamprosate is indicated as therapy to maintain abstinence in alcohol-dependent patients. It should be combined with counselling. 4.2 Posology and method of administration Posology Adults within the age range 18-65 years - 2 tablets three times daily with meals (2 tablets in the morning, noon and night) in subjects weighing 60kg or more. - In subjects weighing less than 60kg, 4 tablets divided into three daily doses with meals (2 tablets in the morning, 1 at noon and 1 at night). Paediatric population and older people Acamprosate should not be administered to children, adolescents and the elderly. Duration of treatment The recommended treatment period is one year. Treatment with acamprosate should be initiated as soon as possible after the withdrawal period and should be maintained if the patient relapses. Acamprosate does not prevent the harmful effects of continuous alcohol abuse. Continued alcohol abuse negates the therapeutic benefit; therefore acamprosate treatment should only be initiated after weaning therapy, once the patient is abstinent from alcohol. Method of administration For oral use.

  • Alcohol's Effects on Sleep in Alcoholics
    Alcohol’s Effects on Sleep in Alcoholics Kirk J. Brower, M.D. Sleep problems, which can have significant clinical and economic consequences, are more common among alcoholics than among nonalcoholics. During both drinking periods and withdrawal, alcoholics commonly experience problems falling asleep and decreased total sleep time. Other measures of sleep are also disturbed. Even alcoholics who have been abstinent for short periods of time (i.e., several weeks) or extended periods of time (i.e., several years) may experience persistent sleep abnormalities. Researchers also found that alcoholics are more likely to suffer from certain sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea. Conversely, sleep problems may predispose some people to developing alcohol problems. Furthermore, sleep problems may increase the risk of relapse among abstinent alcoholics. KEY WORDS: sleep disorder; AOD (alcohol or other drug) dependence; physiological AODE (effects of AOD use, abuse, and dependence); REM (rapid eye movement) sleep; AOD withdrawal syndrome; AOD abstinence; self medication; AODD (AOD use disorder) relapse; melatonin; treatment and maintenance; literature review leep problems1 are more common All of these terms refer both to subjec­ alcoholics than in nonalcoholics—has among alcoholics than among non- tive complaints about sleep, such as been associated with increased mortality Salcoholics (Aldrich 1998; Ehlers insomnia, and to objectively measured from heart disease and stroke (Aldrich 2000; National Institute on Alcohol Abuse abnormalities in sleep, which

  • Meta-Analysis of Benzodiazepine Use in the Treatment of Acute Alcohol Withdrawal Evidence Études
    Meta-analysis of benzodiazepine use in the treatment of acute alcohol withdrawal Evidence Études From the Centre for Anne M. Holbrook, MD, PharmD, MSc; Renée Crowther, MSc; Evaluation of Medicines, Ann Lotter, BA; Chiachen Cheng, MD; Derek King, BMath St. Joseph’s Hospital and McMaster University, Abstract Hamilton, Ont. Objective: To analyse the evidence for the efficacy and potential harmful effects of This article has been peer reviewed. benzodiazepines compared with other therapies in the treatment of acute alco- hol withdrawal. CMAJ 1999;160:649-55. Data sources: MEDLINE and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Registry were searched for English-language articles published from 1966 to December 1997 ß An overview of the diagnosis and that described randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of benzodiazepines in the management of acute alcohol treatment of acute alcohol withdrawal. Key words included “benzodiazepines” withdrawal appears on page 675 (exploded) and “randomized controlled trial.” Bibliographies of relevant articles were reviewed for additional RCTs, and manufacturers of benzodiazepines were asked to submit additional RCT reports not in the literature. Study selection: Articles were considered for the meta-analysis if they were RCTs involving patients experiencing acute alcohol withdrawal and comparing a ben- zodiazepine available in Canada with placebo or an active control drug. Of the original 23 trials identified, 11 met these criteria, representing a total of 1286 patients. Data extraction: Data were extracted regarding the participants, the setting, details of the intervention, the outcomes (including adverse effects) and the method- ologic quality of the studies. Data synthesis: The meta-analysis of benefit (therapeutic success within 2 days) showed that benzodiazepines were superior to placebo (common odds ratio [OR] 3.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.30–8.28).
