Abstract: The invention relates to the use of galanthamine, as free base or as acid addition salt, for the treatment of cerebral, central nervous or psychiatric symptoms, defunctionalization manifestations or disorders occurring through intake of psychotropic substances as a consequence of occasional or chronic abuse of addictive substances, intoxicants or medicines, or as side effects of the use, especially repeated or prolonged, as intended of medicaments, or as an effect of use, in particular repeated or prolonged, not as intended of medicaments, or as a result of acute poisoning by psychotropic toxic substances, or as a result of chronic exposure to toxic substances with a psychotropic effect in humans or other vertebrates.

Abstract: Orally administrable film-shaped medicaments which contain the active substance deoxypeganine or/and a deoxypeganine derivative. The medicaments can be used for transmucosal administration of active substances.

Abstract: Deoxypeganine in the form of a free base or in the form of an acid addition salt, or a derivative of deoxypeganine as long as the derivative is simultaneously an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase and of monoamine oxidase. The deoxypeganine can be used for producing a medicament for treating a schizophrenic psychosis.

Abstract: An active substance combination comprising deoxypeganine or of one of its pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives and mecamylamine or one of its pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives. The active substance combination serves to produce a medicament for the treatment of alcohol abuse and/or alcohol dependence.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a medicament for treating addiction craving which is characterized in that the medicament consists of a combination of two administration forms, one of the administration forms continuously releasing at least one modulator of nicotinic receptors and the other administration form enabling a rapid entry of galanthamine into the central nervous system, as well as a two-stage method for the therapy of substance craving through modulation of neuronal nicotinic receptors, wherein a permanent treatment with a pharmaceutical administration form which continuously delivers a modulator of nicotinic receptors is supplemented upon the appearance of a strong craving for a substance by administering galanthamine or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof by means of an administration form which enables rapid entry of this modulator into the central nervous system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an active ingredient combination composed of at least one modulator of the cholinergic system with at least one substance having antiexcitatory activity for pharmacological addictive substance or intoxicant therapy, in particular of alcoholism.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an active ingredient combination composed of at least one modulator of the cholinergic system with at least one substance blocking central opioid receptors for the pharmacological treatment of nicotine dependence.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of deoxypeganine, as free base or as acid addition salt, for the treatment of cerebral, central nervous or psychiatric symptoms, defunctionalization manifestations or disorders occurring through intake of psychotropic substances as a consequence of occasional or chronic abuse of addictive substances, intoxicants or medicines, or as side effects of the use, especially repeated or prolonged, as intended of medicaments, or as an effect of use, in particular repeated or prolonged, not as intended of medicaments, or as a result of acute poisoning by psychotropic toxic substances, or as a result of chronic exposure to toxic substances with a psychotropic effect in humans or other vertebrates.

Abstract: Desoxypeganine and its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be used in the treatment of alcoholism. Said substances are administered preferably in a continuos and controlled manner. The pharmaceutical administration form enables controlled release, e.g. for oral, transdermal or another route of parenteral administration.

Abstract: Desoxypeganine and its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be used in the treatment of drug addiction or drug dependence. Said substances are administered preferably in a continuos and controlled manner. The pharmaceutical administration form enables controlled release, e.g. for oral transdermal or another route of parenteral administration.

Abstract: Desoxypeganine and its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are useful in treating nicotine dependence.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for the treatment of Alzheimer's dementia with desoxypeganine and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt of desoxypeganine.

Abstract: Galanthamine and the pharmaceutically suitable acid addition salts thereof can be used for the treatment of alcoholism; these compounds are released from adequate pharmaceutic formulations which are administered, e.g., orally, transdermally, or otherwise parenterally, in a continuous and controlled manner.

Abstract: A method of treating a patient afflicted with alcohol addiction which comprises administering to such patient an amount effective therefor of a dihydropyridine of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is one or two substituents independently selected from the group consisting of nitro, halogen, trifluoromethyl and OCHF.sub.2,R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 each independently is alkyl with 1 to 12 carbon atoms optionally substituted by alkoxy with 1 to 4 C atoms, hydroxyl, halogen or N-methyl-N-benzylamino, andR.sup.4 is cyano or alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms optionally substituted by hydroxyl or halogen.

Abstract: A method for the treatment of alcoholism and medicaments used for such treatment wherein patients receive an effective amount of a 2-pyrimidinyl-1-piperazine derivative of the formula ##STR1## in which n represents one of the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, andR represents ##STR2## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 each independently denote hydrogen or lower alkyl, or salts thereof.

Abstract: A method of treating warm-blooded animals to reduce their dependency upon nicotine comprising administering to such animals a medicament containing a 2-pyrimidinyl-1-piperazine derivative of the formula ##STR1## in which n stands for 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 and R stands for ##STR2##
