Abstract

In this review the authors describe the symptomatology, and the etiopathogenetic hypothesis of alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Many drugs are used in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome: carbamazepine, clonidine, chlormethiazole, phenytoin and other compounds; actually benzodiazepines are the most important drugs for symptomatic relief to prevent major withdrawal syndrome. Particularly attention is recommended to the period of suspension with the aim of reducing alcohol consumption and correcting alcohol-related psychosocial problems.
