clonidine and Cocaine-Related Disorders

clonidine has been researched along with Cocaine-Related Disorders in 14 studies

Clonidine: An imidazoline sympatholytic agent that stimulates ALPHA-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS and central IMIDAZOLINE RECEPTORS. It is commonly used in the management of HYPERTENSION.
clonidine (amino form) : A clonidine that is 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-amine in which one of the amino hydrogens is replaced by a 2,6-dichlorophenyl group.

Cocaine-Related Disorders: Disorders related or resulting from use of cocaine.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Environmental cues can elicit robust cocaine reward memories, contributing to relapse to cocaine abuse."3.91Clonidine, an α2 adrenergic receptor agonist, disrupts reconsolidation of a cocaine-paired environmental memory. ( Denny, RR; Unterwald, EM, 2019)
" Two dosing regimens for lofexedine were investigated: 0."2.79Assessment of safety, cardiovascular and subjective effects after intravenous cocaine and lofexidine. ( Anderson, A; Chen, CY; De La Garza, R; Dib, E; Galloway, GP; Haile, CN; Hawkins, RY; Kahn, R; Lao, G; Mahoney, JJ; Mendelson, J; Mojsiak, J; Newton, TF, 2014)
"Clonidine was effective in reducing stress-induced (and, at a higher dose, cue-induced) craving in a pattern consistent with preclinical findings, although this was significant on only one of several measures."2.76Clonidine blocks stress-induced craving in cocaine users. ( Epstein, DH; Ghitza, UE; Heishman, SJ; Jobes, ML; Phillips, KA; Preston, KL, 2011)
"Treatment of cocaine addiction includes anti-craving agents, dopamine agonists or blocking agents, antidepressants, and treatment of co-morbid psychiatric disorders, but all with mixed results."2.42Pharmacologic treatments for heroin and cocaine dependence. ( Kleber, HD, 2003)
"Lofexidine did not produce any observable side effects during or after treatment."1.39Differential effects of acute and chronic treatment with the α2-adrenergic agonist, lofexidine, on cocaine self-administration in rhesus monkeys. ( Fivel, PA; Kohut, SJ; Mello, NK, 2013)
