Rio de Janeiro: Brazilian scientists have said that they have such a Cocaine that made the vaccine and the crack derived from it Of addiction can treat
This vaccine called ‘Calyx coca’ (which has shown clear results in animal trials) activates the body’s immune system to prevent cocaine and crack from reaching the brain. It works by preventing people from getting drunk.
The researchers involved in the study are hopeful that the vaccine will help addicts by curbing their demand.
According to Frederico García, a psychiatrist from the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil and coordinator of the project, if the treatment is approved, it would be the first time that a vaccine would be used to treat cocaine addiction.
This vaccine works by making antibodies in the patient’s immune system. These antibodies bind to the cocaine molecules in the blood, making them so large that they cannot reach the part of the brain that produces large amounts of dopamine due to the addictive substance.
