TA-CD stimulates the increase of antibodies to cocaine in the bloodstream. The antibodies bind to the cocaine molecules and the resultant molecules are too large to reach the brain.

The theory behind this novel treatment is that if the pleasurable effects of the ingestion of cocaine are substantially reduced or eliminated the positive reinforcement that the body associates with cocaine will be blunted. This can give the addict an opportunity to break the cycle of addiction and abuse.
