Benefits of Naltima:

  • Naltima is effective for people with opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder, meaning it treats opioid addiction and alcohol addiction.
  • Trials have found that naltrexone is effective for people who want to get rid of alcohol/opiate addiction.
  • The drug reduces the desire to have alcohol or take opioids by working on the central nervous system.
  • Over time, the drug helps your body to overcome the effects of opioids and alcohol.

Working of Naltima:

Naltima (naltrexone) is an opioid antagonist and does not cause withdrawal symptoms when you stop using it. The drug negates the euphoric or sedative effects of opioids, such as morphine, codeine, and heroin. The drug binds and blocks opioid receptors, and eventually reduces or suppresses your cravings for opiates or alcohol. Fortunately, there is no drug abuse and dependence potential with Naltima.

Dosage of Naltima:

  • Before starting treatment with Naltima, patients should wait up to 7 to 14 days after their last use of opioids.
  • For opioid addiction, your doctor may advise Naltima 50 mg (half tablet – 25mg) and then the other half-tablet after one hour. After that, you can start taking Naltima 50 mg once a day.
  • For alcohol addiction, your doctor may advise Naltima 50 mg once a day for several weeks and then taper dose to eventually stop the drug.
  • Patients taking Naltima should not use any other opioids or illicit drugs, drink alcohol, or take sedatives or tranquilizers.

    • Have liver problems, use any illegal drugs, have hemophilia or any other bleeding problems, have kidney problems, or any other medical issues

    • Taking medications (prescriptions and non-prescription medicines), multivitamins, or herbal supplements; that’s because certain drugs interact adversely with Naltima
  • It is important for your doctor to know if you are currently taking any medicines for pain, cold, cough, or diarrhea, which may contain opioids.
  • Avoid using Naltima if you are allergic to naltrexone or any other opioid antagonists.

  • Patients using Naltima should wear medical identification mentioning that you have been taking it for your drug addiction problem.
