Talking Point: N-acetylcysteine (NAC) for methamphetamine dependence: A randomised controlled trial

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has been found to reduce craving for methamphetamine use and other drugs. This effect is thought to be due to NAC’s ability to restore homeostasis to glutamate systems that are disrupted in addiction. This presentation will discuss the results of a recently completed randomised controlled trial of NAC for methamphetamine dependence.
