FIELD: medicine, pharmaceutics.SUBSTANCE: there are presented methods of treating or preventing an addiction or recurrent addictive behaviour, including: alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, marijuana derivative, opioid receptor antagonist, benzodiazepine, barbiturate and psychostimulant by administering the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR?) agonist thiazolidinedione, alone or in a combination with another therapeutic agent - an opioid receptor agonist, a mixed partial opioid receptor agonist/antagonist, an anti-depressant, an antiepileptic agent, an antiemetic agent, a corticotrophin releasing factor 1 (CRF-1) receptor antagonist, a selective serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, a 5-HT/antagonist or a cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptor antagonist (versions), related pharmaceutical compositions with the above combinations (versions), a standard dosage form (versions) and kits (versions).EFFECT: it is shown that the PPAR? agonist pioglitazone had no effect on amphetamine sensitisation, however it reduced opiate consumption and opiate addiction, also reduced nicotine self-administration in rats, and reduced alcohol consumption if synergistically combined with topiramate Pioglitazone reduced ethanol self-administration in rats.33 cl, 23 dwg, 27 ex |
