Naltrexone Hydrochloride is a potent opioid antagonist primarily used in the management of alcohol and opioid dependence.
Naltrexone Hydrochloride is a potent opioid antagonist primarily used in the management of alcohol and opioid dependence. By binding to opioid receptors in the brain, it effectively blocks the euphoric and sedative effects of opioids, making it a valuable tool in addiction treatment. This mechanism of action helps reduce cravings and supports abstinence in individuals undergoing recovery programs.
In addition to its role in addiction therapy, Naltrexone Hydrochloride is being explored for its potential benefits in other areas, such as weight management and autoimmune disorders. Its ability to modulate the immune system and influence inflammatory pathways has sparked interest in its use for conditions like multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia. The versatility of Naltrexone Hydrochloride in various therapeutic contexts underscores its importance in personalized medicine.
When considering Naltrexone Hydrochloride for treatment, it is crucial to evaluate the patient's medical history and current medications to avoid potential interactions. Prescribers should be aware of the contraindications, such as acute hepatitis or liver failure, and monitor liver function during treatment. The dosing regimen may vary based on the specific condition being treated, and it is essential to tailor the approach to the individual needs of the patient.

A sample of preparations from our formulary. Strengths and dose forms are customised to the prescription.
Low Dose Naltrexone, often called LDN, is naltrexone prepared in much smaller doses than the commercially available 50 mg tablet. Because these low strengths are not sold as a standard manufactured product, they are commonly prepared by a compounding pharmacy with a prescription.
Compounded LDN starts at $100 for 90 capsules at Bayview, and the price varies with the strength, the form, and the quantity your prescriber ordered — capsules, compounded tablets, and the 1 mg/mL oral liquid are not priced alike. Compounded preparations are cash-priced and are generally eligible for HSA and FSA cards. Call us at 401-284-4505 with the strength and quantity on your prescription and we will quote it before we make it.
From a licensed pharmacy, with a prescription. LDN is not sold over the counter and it is not a manufactured product at these strengths, so it has to be prepared by a compounding pharmacy. Bayview is licensed in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Florida and Maine, and also fills a limited number of prescriptions for New York patients. Anything offered without a prescription is not a legitimate source.
Cash pricing starts at $100 for 90 capsules, with the exact price depending on the strength, form, and quantity your prescriber orders. Compounded preparations are generally not billed through insurance because they do not carry the national drug codes insurers adjudicate against. Contact the pharmacy to confirm current pricing before assuming a figure for an unusual strength or quantity.
Naltrexone is commercially manufactured only as a 50 mg tablet. There is no mass-produced 1.5 mg or 4.5 mg product, so low strengths have to be prepared by a compounding pharmacy. That is the only reason it is compounded, not because a compounded version is different or better. Do not try to split or dissolve a 50 mg tablet at home; the accuracy is not there and no stability data supports it.
