Compounding LDN from ReVia

[Guest guest]

Hi all - I know you all have covered making LDN from Revia, a lot.

And I understand the basics of how you all say to go about doing it

but have some (probably stupid) questions.

According to an article I found, 50mg ReVia is 16% Naltresone and

84% filler. If that is the case, how can 1, 50mg pill, crushed and

put into 50ml of water make it a 1:1 ratio where if you take 4.5ml

of water each night you are getting 4.5 mg of naltrexone?

The same article that said the 16/84% figures, also said that 19mg

of the powder contains 3mg of Naltrexone and 28mg of the powder

containd 4.5 mg of Naltrexone. So . . .doesn't that mean that half

of the 50mg pill (or 25mg) actually contains a little less than 4.5

mg of Naltrexone?

I am so bad at math, and well, let's face it, kind of stupid about

compounding drugs - I'm an artist, not pharmacisist. But I have been

using a 3.0 script from Skips - only taking 4.5 a night, so will run

out of meds early and have ordered Revia from MedsMex to fill in and

need help here - I am confused.

Any help (in simple terms) would be really appreciated. I will print

your answers out for my 16 year old daughter to read and help me

with. Thank God for great kids, and people like you all!!!

I don't worry about all that. When you mix the finely crushed ReVia

pill in water, you must shake it before each use. this way

everything is pretty well mixed evenly. I know I take the same 3ml

every night and I can taste if it's a bit stronger or not. But

usually it tastes the same everynight.

The important thing is taking it. the variables are so small is

nothing to worry about. Anyway that's how I see it.

Aegis can help with the math.

The Revia tab contains 50 mg naltrexone, (but it likely weighs more

than 50 mg due to all the fillers). You should ignore the weights of

the fillers. To get a dose of 4.5 mg, I would dissolve one tablet in

11 ml of water. Each 1 ml will contain approximately 4.5 mg, and will

last you 11 days (11 x4.5= 49.5). Ofcourse, with this method you need

the ability to measure 1 ml when taking the dose.

You can also dissolve 50 mg in 100 ml, this will contain 0.5 mg/1 ml.

To get 4.5 mg, you would have to drink 9 ml.

In general drugs are less stable when diluted, so the 11 ml method is

superior, IMHO.
