Abstract
Single doses of amantadine hydrochloride and placebo were administered in a double-blind cross-over design on separate days to ten actively craving cocaine abusers in treatment. Pharmacological treatment did influence cocaine craving, but amantadine was less effective than placebo.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
