Low-Dose Naltrexone
Low-Dose Naltrexone
Naltrexone is a prescription drug that, at a normal dose of 50 to 100 milligrams (mg), blocks the effects of opioids, a class of drugs often taken for pain relief. Opioids include illegal drugs like heroin, as well as synthetic pain relief drugs like Vicodin (hydrocodone-acetaminophen).
At very low doses, however, some researchers believe that naltrexone may be able to help people with fibromyalgia, a long-term condition that can cause widespread pain, as well as chronic fatigue syndrome, a condition that causes exhaustion and general discomfort.
