APPLICATION OF MODAFINIL FOR THE TREATMENT OF COCAINE DEPENDENCE

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of modafinil in cocaine dependence. The dextrorotatory enantiomer of modafinil (S-modafinil) is used, which has a very short release time (less than 1 hour, preferably 15 to 30 minutes) and a very short energizing effect (less than 4 hours, preferably less than 2 hours). It is taken orally as part of a pharmaceutical composition, wherein a single dose contains from 25 to 200 mg, preferably from 50 to 100 mg of S-modafinil. This pharmaceutical composition is used for cocaine addiction substitution therapy.
