Concurrent alcohol and opioid withdrawal syndrome is a common and challenging clinical scenario with little published evidence or guidance to inform pharmacotherapy strategies. Concurrent use of benzodiazepines and opioid agonists, which are considered first-line agents for management of each withdrawal syndrome independently, is controversial and often avoided in clinical practice. Strategies to provide effective, simultaneous medication treatment of alcohol and opioid withdrawal while optimizing patient safety are demonstrated through 3 patient cases.
酒精和阿片类药物戒断综合征并发是一种常见且具有挑战性的临床情况,几乎没有公开的证据或指导意见可用于指导药物治疗策略。苯二氮䓬类药物和阿片类激动剂同时使用,这两种药物分别被认为是治疗每种戒断综合征的一线药物,但这种联合使用存在争议,在临床实践中常被避免。通过3个患者病例展示了在优化患者安全性的同时,为酒精和阿片类药物戒断提供有效、同步药物治疗的策略。
