AI Article Synopsis

  • Many individuals with addiction also face serious health issues, such as heart or liver failure, diabetes, and vascular disease, which require ongoing medication.
  • These co-occurring health problems can make it challenging for people with addiction to adhere to their medication regimens due to various social and compliance issues.
  • The text serves as a guide for hospital doctors, summarizing important pharmacological factors that impact medication adherence in patients dealing with addiction.

Article Abstract

It is not uncommon to be treating people with addiction who also have significant other health problems, including heart, renal or liver failure, diabetes and vascular disease. These conditions require regular medications to be taken. This can be a problem for people living with addiction and difficult social circumstances affecting compliance, among other issues. Our perspective provides a summary of general pharmacological factors affecting medicine taking in people with addiction problems, to provide a guide for hospital doctors in this setting.

Background: Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) affects over 15 million individuals in the United States, contributing to oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and elevating the risk of neurodegeneration. Despite this, the connection between AUD and aging conditions, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD), remains unclear. AD, with a heritability of 60-80%, is genetically linked, necessitating an exploration of the molecular implications of AUD and genetic susceptibility to AD.
