Increased use of antidepressants and antipsychotics was observed in patients with alcohol use disorder, indicating evolving treatment strategies.
Antidepressants comprised 31.2% and antipsychotics 29.7% of prescribed medications among 10,332 patients treated for alcohol use disorder from 2000 to 2016.
The study employed an observational analysis of pharmacotherapy data within a pharmacovigilance program in Germany, analyzing treatment patterns over 16 years.
Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of non-benzodiazepine sedating drugs in the treatment of alcohol use disorder and associated conditions.
