The US has developed the world’s first drug addiction vaccine

Clinical trials of the vaccine in mice have shown no effect, so they will be tested in humans in the coming months.

American scientists from several research centers and universities in Houston and New Orleans have developed the world’s first vaccine against drug addiction. Pharmaceutical reports..

In particular, we are talking about opioids that are associated with an increase in the number of cases of illnesses and fatal overdoses. Experts point out that, despite the fact that drug addiction is treatable, 80% of people suffer from a relapse.

At the same time, a dose of fentanyl as small as two milligrams can be fatal, because this drug is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine.

“Our vaccine generates antibodies against fentanyl that bind to ingested fentanyl and prevent it from reaching the brain, allowing it to be excreted through the kidneys,” said University of Houston associate professor Colin Hale. .

In addition, scientists emphasized that after the introduction of the vaccine, a person will not feel euphoria, but will be able to return to rational thinking.

“Antibodies to fentanyl are specific and the fentanyl derivative does not cross-react with other opioids such as morphine. This means that a person vaccinated against fentanyl can still be treated with other opioids,” explained the scientists.

Earlier it was reported that in the UK began the first trial of a drug designed to eliminate the symptoms of fatigue and muscle weakness.
