Pharmacotherapies for Adults With Alcohol Use Disorders: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis

Conclusions The current meta-analyses provide evidence that several medications for AUDs are effective and safe and encourage the expanded use of these medications in the clinical setting. Our review found that acamprosate (2–3 g/d), disulfiram (250–500 mg/d), baclofen (30 mg/d), and oral naltrexone (50 mg/d) had the best evidence for improving abstinence and heavy drinking for patients with AUD.
