Аннотация
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE: Nalmefene, a new opioid system regulator, has recently been approved for the treatment of alcohol dependence, primarily for reducing heavy drinking days.
CASES DESCRIPTION: Two patients with a diagnosis of alcohol use disorder were treated with nalmefene. Both patients developed fatigue and deep sleepiness after 2 days of treatment. Only after 1 day of drug discontinuation, symptoms normalized.
WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION: We have analysed symptoms' development before and after treatment discontinuation and the possible association with nalmefene therapy. This case should pinpoint our attention on this adverse event for a careful choice of anticraving therapy in patients with severe alcohol use disorder.
