Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist used in the management of substance‑use disorders.

Alcohol dependence: reduces cravings and helps maintain abstinence. Opioid dependence: blocks opioid receptors to prevent relapse and support detoxification. Alcohol use disorder after detoxification: assists in sustaining sobriety after initial withdrawal. Opioid use disorder maintenance: provides a non‑opioid option for long‑term relapse prevention. Combined therapy: used alongside psychosocial counseling to improve treatment outcomes in substance‑use disorder programs.

Naltrexone may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea or gastrointestinal discomfort. - Headache. - Dizziness or light‑headedness. - Fatigue or drowsiness. - Insomnia or vivid dreams.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hepatotoxicity or elevated liver enzymes. - Severe depression, suicidal thoughts, or mood changes. - Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or anaphylaxis. - Hepatic failure in patients with pre‑existing liver disease. - Acute hepatitis or jaundice.

Before initiating therapy, clinicians should evaluate patient history and monitor for potential risks. - Liver function assessment: obtain baseline hepatic enzymes and monitor periodically. - Mental health screening: watch for depression or suicidal ideation. - Avoid concurrent opioid analgesics: may precipitate withdrawal. - Caution in renal impairment: adjust monitoring as needed. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Naltrexone can interact with several medication classes; careful review is advised.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Opioid agonists (e.g., morphine, oxycodone): will be blocked and may cause acute withdrawal. - Opioid‑containing cough syrups: can precipitate severe withdrawal symptoms.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Alcohol: may increase risk of hepatotoxicity. - Benzodiazepines: additive central nervous system depression. - Certain antidepressants (e.g., SSRIs): may enhance liver enzyme elevations. - Disulfiram: combined use may raise hepatic stress.
