AcamprosateThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Acamprosate but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Acamprosate (when available) Valdecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Valdecoxib is used for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activities in the management of osteoarthritis (OA) and for the treatment of dysmenorrhea or acute pain. Unlike celecoxib, Valdecoxib lacks a sulfonamide chain and does not require CYP450 enzymes for metabolism. For the treatment of osteoarthritis and dysmenorrhoea Mechanism Of Action: Both COX-1 and COX-2 catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin (PG) H2, the precursor of PGs and thromboxane. Valdecoxib selectively inhibits the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, important for the mediation of inflammation and pain. Unlike non-selective NSAIDs, Valdecoxib does not inhibit platelet aggregation.

Brand Names/Synonyms: Acamprosate is also known by the following brand names and/or synonymsAcamprosate; Acamprosate 6473; Acamprosate 6473 [Inn]; Acamprosato [Inn-Spanish]; Acamprosatum [Inn-Latin]; Campral; N-Acetylhomotaurine Drug Category: Acamprosate is categorized under the following by the FDA: Alcohol Deterrents; ATC:N07BB03 Dosage Forms: Not Available Absorption: Not Available Interactions: -->Interactions for Acamprosate: The concomitant intake of alcohol and CAMPRAL does not affect the pharmacokinetics of either alcohol or acamprosate. Pharmacokinetic studies indicate that administration of disulfiram or diazepam does not affect the pharmacokinetics of acamprosate. Co-administration of naltrexone with CAMPRAL produced a 25% increase in AUC and a 33% increase in the Cmax of acamprosate. No adjustment of dosage is recommended in such patients. The pharmacokinetics of naltrexone and its major metabolite 6-beta-naltrexol were unaffected following co-administration with CAMPRAL. Other concomitant therapies: In clinical trials, the safety profile in subjects treated with CAMPRAL concomitantly with anxiolytics, hypnotics and sedatives (including benzodiazepines), or non-opioid analgesics was similar to that of subjects taking placebo with these concomitant medications. Patients taking CAMPRAL concomitantly with antidepressants more commonly reported both weight gain and weight loss, compared with patients taking either medication alone.
