Frequently asked questions

What conditions is Naltrexone Hydrochloride used to treat?+
Naltrexone Hydrochloride is prescribed for adults with alcohol dependence, opioid dependence, and for preventing relapse in individuals recovering from opioid use. It works by reducing cravings and blocking the rewarding effects of these substances, supporting sustained abstinence.
How does Naltrexone Hydrochloride work in the body?+
The medication acts as a competitive antagonist at μ‑, κ‑, and δ‑opioid receptors. By occupying these receptors without activating them, it blocks both naturally occurring opioids and external opioid drugs, diminishing their reinforcing and euphoric effects and helping to curb dependence.
What is the usual dose of Naltrexone Hydrochloride?+
The specific dosage and regimen of Naltrexone Hydrochloride are determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s medical condition, treatment goals, and response. Healthcare professionals tailor the dose to each individual’s needs.
Is Naltrexone Hydrochloride safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Naltrexone Hydrochloride in pregnancy and lactation are limited, and the product is classified as having an unknown pregnancy category. It should only be used if the potential benefits justify any possible risks to the fetus or infant, and under medical supervision.

What are the most serious risks associated with Naltrexone Hydrochloride?+
Serious risks include hepatotoxicity, severe depression, suicidal thoughts, and allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. Patients should be monitored regularly for liver function and mood changes, and any signs of an allergic response require immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Naltrexone Hydrochloride?+
Individuals who are currently dependent on opioids, have acute hepatitis or severe liver impairment, or have a known hypersensitivity to naltrexone or any excipients should avoid using this medication. It is also contraindicated in patients who have not completed opioid detoxification.
