摘要:
The present invention is directed to the use of ibudilast for treating addictions, including drug and behavioral addictions. In particular, ibudilast is used to diminish the dopamine-mediated reward associated with addictions and to treat withdrawal syndromes after discontinuance of addictive drug use or behavior. In addition, methods are provided for preventing or inhibiting relapse in human subjects having a history of methamphetamine addiction or dependence by the administration of an effective amount of ibudilast.
