Naltrexone pills

Oral Naltrexone or Naltrexone pill is available in tablet or capsule form.

It contains a daily dose of 50mg of blocker, which is sufficient to protect all opiate receptors for 24 hours.

Registered names for oral Naltrexone are Revia, Trexane, Depade, Nalorex, Antaxone, Naltrexone hydrochloride.

Important notice:

Firstly, opioid receptor blockade with Naltrexone pill is meaningful only if used responsibly, regularly, and without skipping. It is necessary to take Naltrexone tablets daily. This is easy when one’s mood is stable and there is a high motivation to stay clear of drugs or alcohol.

Secondly, Naltrexone therapy may become a serious problem if you have mood swings, difficulties sleeping, anxiety, depression. Or if you keep in touch with friends who are addicts and drug dealers. If this is the case, you are being forced to choose every day between taking Naltrexone pill or drugs.

Finally, this is often a very difficult decision. Relapse in heroin (opiate) addiction can happen when you forget to take the blocker tablet, or you don’t bring enough Naltrexone pills when traveling, or not being able to buy the pills ontime, etc…

Modern medicine has solved the above-mentioned problems by various forms of Naltrexone with long-term effects.
