CURING AND PROPHYLACTIC AGENT APPLIED DURING THE USE OF ALCOHOL AND PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES

摘要

The invention relates to medicine and is directed at developing means and methods for narcological practice and for preventive measures in order to reduce the risk of falling sick with such menacing modern diseases like dependence diseases, in particular alcoholism, narcomania and toximania. Said invention provides for using already known chemical compounds, i.e. vicinal dithioglycols for developing medical agents exhibiting properties for preventing contraction or development or reducing the speed of pathological processes forming a base for dependence diseases, in particular withdrawal syndromes. The inventive substances reduce or block pharmacological effects resulting from ethanol injection and/or narcotics, thereby directly influencing pathogenic mechanisms of the dependence diseases, in particular alcoholism. It is stated that said agents are particularly efficient when they are perorally administered. Said invention is accompanied by experimental material which proves the large perspective of the inventive agents and of a prophylactic method which provides for the use thereof before and after consuming alcohol-containing beverages or narcotics. The use of the invention makes it possible to reduce the degree of falling sick with alcoholism and narcomania and to reduce the toxic action of alcohols during the household use thereof.
