Answer by Scott O
Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist. Naltrexone blocks the effects of narcotic drugs and alcohol. Naltrexone blocks the “high” that is achieved by use of these substances
Naltrexone is used in the treatment of narcotic drug or alcohol addiction..
As a Paramedic we gave narcan when we suspected drug overdose of narcotics and opoids.
Before taking naltrexone, talk to your doctor if you
have used alcohol or a narcotic drug within the past 7-10 days;
have drug or alcohol withdrawal symptoms;
have kidney disease; or
have liver disease.
You may not be able to take naltrexone, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment.
