Naltrexone Pellet (Naltrexone Implant/Naltrexone Blocker)
What is Naltrexone and how does it work?
Naltrexone is an opioid receptor antagonist used primarily in the management of opioid dependence. Naltrexone works by blocking the opioid receptors in the brain and therefore, eliminating the effects of heroin, methadone, morphine and other opiates. The effect of Naltrexone is to block the part of your brain that feels pleasure when you use narcotics. Naltrexone does not make you feel sick if take drugs while taking it, but makes it impossible to get high.
Numerous problems with the disciplined reception of Naltrexone tablets have forced scientists to search for new approaches in relapse protection.
The solution became different forms of Naltrexone implant. Once inserted under the skin or muscle Naltrexone implant blocks the effects of heroin, methadone, morphine and other opiates. They gradually release their medication into the blood stream just as if the patient was taking their Naltrexone tablets every day for weeks even months. The opioid receptors are blocked making effect of heroin or other opiates impossible.
