How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Naltrexone HCl 1% Scalp Solution is a specially compounded topical solution designed to treat a range of scalp conditions, including psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis. The primary active ingredient, naltrexone hydrochloride, is an opioid antagonist that functions by inhibiting the effects of opioids within the body. This action aids in reducing inflammation and itching associated with these skin conditions.

The solution is intended for direct application to the affected scalp area and is recommended to be used twice daily for optimal results. It is crucial to avoid using this solution on broken or irritated skin. The application process involves washing the affected area with a mild cleanser before applying the solution. Once applied, the solution should be left on the scalp for a minimum of 10 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. Care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth during application and rinsing.

While Naltrexone HCl 1% Scalp Solution is generally well tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects such as burning, stinging, or redness at the application site. If these or any other side effects occur, it is important to immediately contact your healthcare provider for advice and potential treatment adjustments.
