Rehab News:Anti alcohol drug gets new approval
A new drug to help treat alcohol addiction is to be made available throughout Canada for the first time.
Campral is a prescription medicine to treat alcohol dependence which has recently been approved by the Candadian medicines regulator Health Canada.
Health Canada said the medication is effective and safe in increasing both continuous abstinence from alcohol and the number of alcohol-free days.
"Alcohol dependence is a real public health concern. It is associated with more than 18,000 deaths in Canada every year," said Dr Milan Khara, an addiction medicine physician with Vancouver Coastal Health.
"Although many patients successfully go through detoxification, the reality is the risk of relapse remains high. After more than a decade, there is now a new treatment option in Canada that is effective in helping patients abstain from alcohol.
"When used in combination with counselling or psychosocial support, Campral can play a significant role in maintaining abstinence in detoxified alcohol-dependent patients."
Campral assists in the maintenance of abstinence from alcohol and decreases withdrawal symptoms, reducing the chance of relapse.
Unlike some other treatments it has a low level of toxicity and so can be prescribed to those with liver damage.
