Indications for use

First of all, it is necessary to understand that binge drinking is not a person’s weakness, but a symptom of a rather complex disease. Therefore, it is necessary to use professional medical means to help an alcoholic. Drugs should be prescribed by narcologists. Modern means usually have detoxifying properties, so they help to remove toxins from the body faster. It should also be understood that alcoholics often suffer from heart and liver diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to also add anti-alcoholism pills that will help support their work. Remember that each person’s situation may be different, so it is better to consult a specialist who will recommend suitable drugs.

Indications for the use of tablets for binge drinking are varied. But the main goal of such drugs is to bring the alcoholic to a normal state.

Pharmacodynamics

The pharmacodynamics of various tablets for binge drinking are different. Therefore, we will show you using the example of a popular drug for the main symptoms of withdrawal from binge drinking "Proproten-100". Immediately after entering the body, it begins to modify the functionality of the S-100 protein. This allows for the conjugation of metabolic and information processes in the brain.

The drug modifies the functionality of the main brain structures on which alcohol addiction depends. The drug helps improve the emotional state of the patient, therefore the need for self-stimulation of some brain structures is reduced. During the experiments, it was established that "Proproten-100" helps restore the balance of the conditioned reflex activity of the body.

Pharmacokinetics

Let's consider the pharmacokinetics of tablets for binge drinking using the popular drug "Topamax" as an example. The drug is absorbed quite quickly and effectively. The bioavailability of the drug is quite high (81%). There is no need to monitor food intake when taking "Topamax".

Plasma proteins bind to 17% of topiramate (the main substance of the tablets). Only 20% of the dose taken is metabolized in the body. Therefore, it is recommended to take additional drugs with it, which are antiepileptic. The kidneys help to remove most of the "Topamax".

Names of pills for binge drinking

Among the popular pills for binge drinking, there are drugs with a wide variety of properties. First, narcologists try to calm or put the patient to sleep in order to quickly bring him out of an unpleasant state. Here, the following drugs are considered good:

Tablets for binge drinking instead of IV drip

To get out of a binge, not only pills are used, but also IVs. But the latter method is a little more complicated if you decide to help a loved one at home. Firstly, it is always much easier to take pills. Secondly, you will not always be able to force a person to lie down under an IV. It should be understood that IV drugs are first administered in small quantities. Sometimes it is difficult for a non-specialist to understand all the dosages.

Anti-binge drinking pills

Since alcoholism often causes a person to feel fear and anxiety, the patient needs to add anti-binge drinking pills to the list of medications.

• Gidazepam. This drug is a popular tranquilizer with a strong anticonvulsant effect. Helps relieve anxiety. Taken no more than three times a day in a dosage of 0.2-0.5 mg. The dose is gradually increased. The duration of use should be prescribed by the attending physician.

Tablets for shaking after a binge

After coming out of a binge, many patients begin to shake violently. To relieve it, special pills are used.

• Proproten-100. This is a popular homeopathic medicine that helps relieve tremors and shaking after a binge. The tablets are taken before meals. Be sure to keep it in your mouth until it dissolves on its own. If the shaking is too strong, you can give one tablet every 30 minutes (two hours), and then one tablet every hour (eight hours). Withdrawal from the drug should be gradual. The main side effects include allergies and deterioration of vision.

Method of administration and dosage of tablets for binge drinking

Since most anti-binge pills are sedatives with a calming effect, their dosage is increased gradually. Usually they start with small amounts. The withdrawal from therapy occurs in the same way.
