This is not quite true. Commercially-prepared 50mg tablets of

Naltrexone DO contain filler. If you are dissolving these tablets in

water, you are also dissolving -- and drinking -- filler.

If you're getting your Naltrexone from Medsmex, you are probably

getting ReVia. Each ReVia tablet is comprised of about 16%

Naltrexone and 84% filler.

Bristol Myers Squibb manufactures ReVia in markets other than the US

and Canada (that is, Mexico). Each 50 mg tablet of ReVia

contains 50 mg of naltrexone hydrochloride, PLUS these inactive

ingredients (filler): lactose, microcrystalline cellulose,

crospovidone, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and pale yellow

Opadry (colouring). [information from a 2002 leaflet by Australian

Prescription Products Guide.]

I hope this helps.
