What is Naltrexone for Alcohol Support?
Naltrexone is a prescription medicine proven to help reduce cravings and the pleasurable effects of alcohol. By blocking certain brain receptors, it lowers the desire to drink and supports patients in cutting down or abstaining altogether. Naltrexone should only be used as part of a structured treatment plan under medical supervision.
How Does Naltrexone Work?
Naltrexone works by blocking opioid receptors in the brain that are involved in the rewarding effects of alcohol. By reducing these pleasurable effects, it becomes easier to cut back on drinking.
Typical dosing involves a once-daily oral tablet, with strength and duration determined by your prescriber.

How to Use
Naltrexone is usually taken as a once-daily oral tablet. Your prescriber will provide exact dosing instructions based on your medical history and treatment goals. Treatment may continue for several months as part of a wider recovery plan.
