Drs. Bell and DeVine, this week, will take a dive into prazosin, a medication FDA approved only for the treatment of hypertension, and how it may actually aid in the treatment of alcohol use disorder. Although this medication is approved only for hypertension, it is often used off label for things like PTSD and Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH). We will review recent studies that look at the efficacy, however, of its use for the treatment of AUD both with and without co-occurring PTSD.
