Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)

What is Naltrexone? Naltrexone, in its full dose form, is in the opioid antagonists drug class. It blocks opiate drugs from binding to the opioid receptors, which results in endorphin increase and release of enkephalin.

Truly Customized for Individual Needs
We have worked with doctors to look at what the patient is on and we help slowly wean off the opioid while starting with either very low dose naltrexone or ultra-low dose naltrexone (microgram dosing).

Side effects of LDN are few and have not been commonly reported.

Most common side effects have been:
• VIVID dreams are common, usually only lasting a few days; if these become bothersome for the patients, the time of dose could be adjusted to the am
• Stomach cramps/diarrhea – rare
• Increased thyroid sensitivity; medication may need adjustment
• Flu-like symptoms; if longer than 24 hours, the dose may be cut in half until symptoms resolve

It’s important to ask questions when researching medications, especially when it comes to pain relief. Many individuals looking for alternatives to addictive opioids have found Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) can be the solution. PD Labs’ Ray Solano, RPh., has become a national expert by studying and connecting with global experts in LDN, and has helped a vast amount of patients get through chronic pain.
