The drug, which is commonly used to treat epilepsy may help get rid of alcohol addiction, said UK scientists. Experts claim that the drug "Topamax", which is commonly used to treat epilepsy helps reduce dependence on alcohol. Scientists conducted a study of 370 people with a strong addiction to alcohol. Participants were given along with the drug pill placebo "dummy". After 14 weeks, the results showed that the participants who took the drug to take less about alcohol and had the general improvement in health. The patients were seen improvements such as the stabilization of cholesterol, the pressure and liver enzymes. According to Professor Bankole Johnson, the drug weakened not only the desire to drink, but also improves overall health. But we should not forget about the possible side effects, as it can be very serious, the scientists said.
