Brand Names
Vivitrol, ReVia, APO-Naltrexone
Drug Class
Antidote, Opioid Antagonist
🔬 Mechanism of Action
As a pure opioid antagonist, naltrexone competes with opioid receptors and can displace opioid drugs from the receptors. Naltrexone antagonizes the effects of opioids with long-lasting effects. At low doses, this transient receptor blockade is believed to trigger an upregulation of endogenous opioid production, resulting in anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
📊 Administration & Dosing
- May be taken by mouth with or without food. Taking with food may minimize gastrointestinal side effects.
- LDN doses typically range from 0.5mg to 6mg daily — contact your healthcare provider for specific dosing instructions.
- To minimize risk of withdrawal, patients should be opioid-free for at least 7–10 days before starting.
⚠️ Drug Interactions
- Opioids: Do not take together — may precipitate opioid withdrawal and reduce opioid effectiveness.
- Bremelanotide: Do not take together — may result in naltrexone treatment failure.
- Opioid antagonists (Naldemedine, Naloxegol): May increase risk of opioid withdrawal.
🚨 Adverse Effects
Common side effects:
• Nausea / vomiting
• Gastrointestinal pain / cramps
• Joint or muscle pain
• Difficulty sleeping
• Anxiety
• Headaches
Tell your doctor immediately if you experience: yellowing of the skin (jaundice), suicidal thoughts, symptoms of opioid withdrawal, or mild symptoms that do not go away.
🤰 Pregnancy, Breastfeeding & Pediatrics

- Breastfeeding: Naltrexone and 6-beta-naltrexol are present in breast milk. Discuss risk and benefits with your doctor.
- Pediatrics: Safety and effectiveness have not been established in pediatric patients.

Low Dose Naltrexone Therapy for Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s Disease is a debilitating form of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is estimated that 3 million people in the US alone have a form of IBD. There is currently no cure for Crohn’s which is usually characterized by frequent diarrhea, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and anemia. Normal therapies include immunosuppressive drugs including steroids, but 80% of patients will need surgical intervention within 20 years of diagnosis. There is evidence that low dose naltrexone can achieve symptom relief in some patients who have moderate symptoms despite normal therapies.
