How long do the effects of treatment with PROMETA last?
Will patients have to be retreated?

There is no need for re-treatment as long as the patient maintains abstinence from the addictive substance.

PROMETA is designed for those diagnosed with dependence to alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, or a combination of these drugs.

PROMETA may be appropriate at any stage of recovery, and may be appropriate for alcohol, cocaine, or methamphetamine dependent patients if they are:

Also, PROMETA should not be administered in women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the course of treatment, or to those on certain medications.

Other prescribing restrictions may apply. It is up to the treating physician to decide whether treatment with the medications administered as part of the PROMETA treatment protocols are appropriate for any given patient.

What are the most common side effects associated with medical treatment using PROMETA?

Some patients may experience transient headaches, injection site discomfort and/or anxiety. Each patient should discuss possible side effects with the treating physician.
