Key points

  • Dependence treatment is a plan rather than a single tablet: medicine reduces craving or withdrawal while behavioural support does the rest.
  • The three dependencies here, tobacco, alcohol and opioid, use different medicines, so products in this group are not interchangeable.
  • Several need supervised initiation, because timing relative to the last drink or dose changes what is safe.

Classes and ingredients in this category

The medicines fall into three groups, matched to the substance rather than chosen between:

Conditions it covers

These medicines are used for tobacco dependence, alcohol dependence and opioid dependence. Each dependency has its own assessment and monitoring pattern, so prescribing is matched to the substance rather than to the category.
