Naltrexone Hydrochloride

Naltrexone Hydrochloride is a prescription medication used to treat OUD (Opioid Use Disorder) and AUD (Alcohol Use Disorder) in adults. It works as an opioid receptor antagonist, which means it blocks the effects of opioids in the brain and may help reduce alcohol cravings.

Naltrexone tablets do not produce opioid-like effects and are not habit-forming. This medication should be taken under medical supervision as part of a comprehensive treatment program that includes behavioral support and counseling.

Naltrexone is available in tablet and injection forms. Currently, our pharmacy provides only a 50 mg oral tablet. Many patients purchase this medication from licensed Canadian pharmacies to save on costs with a valid prescription.

Naltrexone Hydrochloride 50 mg tablets are FDA-approved for:

• Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
• Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)

Naltrexone Hydrochloride can cause side effects and may not be appropriate for everyone. Important risks include:

• Opioid withdrawal: Naltrexone can cause severe and sudden withdrawal symptoms in patients who are physically dependent on opioids. People must be opioid‑free for 7-10 days before starting treatment.
• Liver injury: Cases of liver damage have been reported, particularly at higher doses. Symptoms may include dark urine, abdominal pain, and yellowing of the skin or eyes.
• Reduced opioid tolerance: After stopping Naltrexone, patients might be more sensitive to opioids, raising the risk of overdose if opioids are used again.

Before taking Naltrexone, inform your healthcare provider about your medical history and all medications you use. Important precautions include:

• Liver disease: Use with caution in people with liver conditions. Baseline and periodic liver function tests may be required.
• Surgery or pain treatment: Inform healthcare providers you are taking Naltrexone, as opioid pain medications will be ineffective. Non‑opioid alternatives must be considered.
• Opioid use: Do not take Naltrexone if you are currently using opioids or have not completed opioid withdrawal.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Use only if clearly needed and under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
• Alcohol use disorder treatment: Naltrexone should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment program, including counseling and psychosocial support.
