Diuretic may help increase brain blood flow in cocaine addicts

ot aspirin or placebo, improved blood flow in the brain. None of the treatments affected blood clotting.

The authors speculate that the improvement by amiloride may be due to the medication's ability to dilate the arteries in the brain. The authors also pointed out that amiloride may be used in combination with other medications that also increase cerebral blood flow to treat cocaine dependent patients.

Co-authors included Christopher Gottschalk, Karen Tucker, Christine Rinder, M.D., Holly Dey, and Henry Rinder, M.D.
