Low Dose Naltrexone

Why does LDN have to be compounded?

LDN comes from the drug Naltrexone. Naltrexone is an FDA approved

drug for opiod and alcohol addiction. The dosage for LDN (hence the

term Low dose naltrexone) is much lower than a typical Naltrexone

dosage.

What type of fillers do we use?

We use immediate release fillers. Any sustained released fillers will

slow down absorption. This would release the medication over a long

period of time and you would not get the full benefit.
