(REVIA)NALTREXONE
(CNS) OPIOID ANTAGONIST
- OPIOD ANTAGONIST
-In the treatment of alcohol dependence and for the blockade of the effects of exogenously administered opioids.
-TAKEN PO
-Naltrexone belongs to a class of drugs known as opiate antagonists. It works in the brain to prevent opiate effects (e.g., feelings of well-being, pain relief). It also decreases the desire to take opiates.
This medication is also used to treat alcohol abuse. It can help people drink less alcohol or stop drinking altogether. It also decreases the desire to drink alcohol when used with a treatment program that includes counseling, support, and lifestyle changes.
