Abstract
Objective: To investigate and describe the standardized medicine to treat alcohol hangover that are presented by scientific literature. Methods: Were developed a systematic review which aims to answer the question: "Which standardized medicines are presented by the scientific literature to treat alcohol Hangover". This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and made a search in MEDLINE, Scielo, Web of Science, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature with the descriptors “Alcohol hangover AND Treatment”. The PROSPERO number of this article is: CRD42024557119 Results: From the 425 found studies, two noted that Pyrithioxin and Propranolol did not reduce alcohol hangover symptoms. However, other four studies proposed that Chlormethiazole, Loxoprofen, SJP-001 and L-cysteine significantly reduced these symptoms effects of alcohol hangover. Final considerations: A wide range of treatment measures are presented in the literature, with few options appearing to have beneficial effects over alcohol hangover. Personal factors such as gender, age, ethnicity, and other conditions should be taken into consideration when evaluating the effects of a medication on alcohol hangover treatment.
