Am I right to assume that when you buy LDN from Medsmex.com there are no fillers, unlike when you buy it from a compounding pharmacy? The medsmex version I believe, is a 50mg. pill that can be placed in 50 ml. of water for "the liquid method" - whereas prescriptions from doctors for let's 1.5 mg. that are filled at compounding pharmacies will have fillers. Is this correct? Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my understanding that there is filler in the Revia from Mexico. 4.5mg is about the size of a grain of sand. It would be tough to get 50 grains of sand formed into a pill shape, I think. That's why I prefer to get compounded pills. I know how much Naltrexone is inside! Marcie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we compounding capsule takers try to avoid are pharmacies that crush the 50mg pills to put in our capsules, still a filler must be added to the capsule giving one a double dose of filler and probably not an exact mix on mg's. We capsule user's need to be sure the compounding pharmacy we use uses pure naltrexone powder as it has no filler...once the pure naltrexone powder is measured, the filler can be added. That's how it was explained to me. Pure Naltrexone Powder can only be obtained by a pharmacist in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
