Selincro contains the active ingredient Nalmefene 18mg tablets. Selincro is the only approved medicine for reducing alcohol consumption in patients at high risk of excessive alcohol consumption without any physical withdrawal symptoms.

Mild - tremor, agitation, nausea, vomiting, disorientation and anxiety. 

Moderate - more pronounced symptoms and transient auditory hallucinations may also occur. 

Severe - marked tremor, confusion, disorientation, agitation, restlessness, fearfulness, visual and auditory hallucinations, delusions, autonomic disturbances, fast pulse, sweating, fever and dehydration. Seizures can occur 12 to 48 hours after the last drink and are more common if there is a previous history of fitting, or if the patient is on any medication (e.g. antipsychotics) that lower the seizure threshold.

If you have any of the above alcohol withdrawal symptoms, you must seek immediate advice from your GP.  Alternatively you can contact our private doctor by contacting us on WhatsApp or by phoning the pharmacy on 0203 7718076. 

What are physical withdrawal symptoms from alcohol

The active substance in Selincro, Nalmefene, attaches to certain opioid receptors in the brain. Opioid receptors play a role in addiction and, by attaching to them and modifying their activity, Nalmefene helps reduce the urge to drink in people accustomed to large amounts of alcohol.

Selincro does not prevent the intoxicating effects of alcohol.

How does Selincro help me reduce alcohol consumption?

Selincro (Nalmefene) 18mg is an approved medicine and the its effectiveness and safety profile has been studied in official clinical trials.  

In clinical trials, Selincro reduced alcohol consumption by approximately 60% after six months treatment. 

Nalmefene is still under the patent and it is only available under the innovator brand Selincro made by Lundbeck from Denmark. 

Generic and branded make of a medicine are the same and both makes have to meet the same quality and safety standards before they are allowed to be sold as a medicine.

All generic medicines that are available in the UK/EU through authorised pharmacies, like My Private Pharmacist, are licensed and genuine medications so they are safe to use as intended. 

What is the difference between brand and generic make of a medicine?

Take one tablet once daily 1-2 hours before you are likely to start drinking alcohol. 

The most common side effects (seen in more than 1 patient in 10) were nausea (feeling sick), dizziness, insomnia (difficulty sleeping) and headache. The majority of these reactions were mild or moderate and of short duration. 

It must also not be used in patients with severe liver or kidney impairment or a recent history of acute alcohol withdrawal syndrome (including hallucinations, seizures (fits) and tremors).
