Objective: Alcohol withdrawal syndrome poses a significant health burden worldwide, with its prevalence steadily rising in countries like India due to high rates of alcohol use disorders. The treatment landscape for alcohol withdrawal syndrome is evolving with the introduction of bromocriptine offering a promising adjunctive treatment for patients resistant to standard benzodiazepine therapy.
