[Combination therapy of delirium tremens with haloperidol and clomethiazol (author's transl)]
Abstract:
Despite the successes achieved by modern distraneurinomonotherapy, treatment of delirium tremens remains full of complications and high-risk problem. Basing on theoretical considerations regarding the delirium tremens as a form of psychosis, the additional application of a neuroleptic with an antipsychotic action is suggested to achieve a specific treatment, exercising a direct influence both on the psychotic and on the neurovegetative signs of alcoholic delirium. Experiences collected with a combination treatment extending over two years with haloperidol IV and ch clomethiazol oral, point to a decrease in the incidence rate of delirium, a milder course of the delirium itself, and a corresponding decrease in associated complications. This should stimulate further systematic and statistically safe investigations in this field.

Melatonin congeners like ramelteon (Rozerem) and tasimelteon (Hetlioz) selectively bind to melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2) and thus mimic the actions of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Tasimelteon is primarily used for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder, common in blind patients. They are also used to treat conditions like insomnia...
