The influence of chlormethiazole on the neuro-endocrine system in chronic alcoholics.
The neuro-endocrine system is affected by chronic ethanol ingestion. Chlormethiazole is effective in the treatment of the ethanol withdrawal syndrome because of its tolerability, lack of hepatotoxicity, short plasma half-life, lack of any long-acting intermediate metabolites and lack of adverse effects on the neuro-endocrine system in alcoholics.
