Abstract
A systematic review and meta-analysis of approved and off-label medication treatments for alcohol use disorder has concluded that oral naltrexone and acamprosate have the strongest evidence for reducing alcohol consumption. Trials that directly compared naltrexone and acamprosate did not establish superiority of one of the medications.
