Ondansetron is the most meaningful addiction treatment [Dr. Bankole Johnson] has yet seen developed.
Picture this: a medication that might just change the landscape of addiction treatment. In this episode, Dr. Mark Leeds dives into the potential of Ondansetron, a drug originally designed to combat nausea, now showing promise in treating alcohol and drug addiction. How does it work? By blocking serotonin at specific receptors, Ondansetron may help stabilize serotonin function and reduce cravings. Dr. Leeds breaks down the science behind this intriguing possibility, exploring its effectiveness in treating alcohol, stimulant, and opioid addictions.
He also touches on ongoing research by Adial Pharmaceuticals, which is developing a low-dose version called Ad04 aimed at genetically predisposed alcoholics. If you're curious about innovative treatments and how they could integrate with existing therapies, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the future of addiction recovery.
