In the patients of the 2 nd group symptoms of alcohol abstinence encephalopathy decreased,intelectual and mnestic sphere improved,biochemical tests (ALT, AST, AP, bilirubine) had normalized in 3 weeks of the treatment.In the patients of the 1st group these symptomes and biochemical tests had not reduced in 4 weeks even.
