Naltrexone (nal-TREKS-one) is commercially available at 50 or 100mg and is FDA approved for opioid or alcohol dependence. At significantly lower doses, compounded Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) and Ultra-Low Dose Naltrexone (ULDN) can have many other applications. LDN (typical range 1-5 mg) may be used to address itching, pain, and other symptoms related to autoimmune or inflammatory conditions. It may be used to exert analgesic, antioxidant, or anti-inflammatory effects.
