Baclofen has receive final approval in France from ANSM (local FDA) as treatment for alcoholism.
Here the official press release (GG translated in english) :
Baclofen authorization for alcoholism
The temporary approval is valid for 3yrs, while waiting for the results of the ongoing Clinical Trials (Alpadir, Bacloville and others).
Every physician (in France) can now prescribe Baclofen for alcoholism without any kind of problem till 120mgs.
From 120 to 180mgs there must have an approval of a second doctor (psychiatrist/other specialist).
Over 180mgs a special commission of addiction "specialists" (CSAPA) have to confirm.
Good read! ;-)
