Fentanyl and Cocaine Vaccines, Addiction Treatment Research
Researchers at the University of Houston are developing a vaccine for fentanyl that stimulates antibodies to block the drug's euphoric effects. Similar research is being conducted for cocaine using an adenovirus to trick the immune system into targeting drug molecules. Critics argue these treatments may lead addicts to increase dosages or switch substances to overcome the blockade.
