Low Dose Naltrexone 1.5 mg

Product Overview

Low Dose Naltrexone 1.5 mg is a prescription medication containing naltrexone as its active ingredient. It is primarily used under medical supervision to modulate immune system activity and support management of certain chronic conditions. Unlike standard doses of naltrexone used for opioid dependence, LDN is administered in significantly lower doses to achieve its therapeutic effects while minimizing side effects.

How It Works

Low Dose Naltrexone 1.5 mg is an opioid receptor antagonist, meaning it temporarily binds to opioid receptors in the body without activating them. At low doses, it is believed to have a modulatory effect on the immune system and may promote the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving and immune-regulating chemicals. This action is thought to contribute to its potential benefits in conditions associated with immune dysregulation and inflammation.

Uses / Indications

Low Dose Naltrexone 1.5 mg is prescribed for a variety of conditions under careful medical supervision. While primarily explored for immune modulation, it may be used to support patients with chronic inflammatory conditions, certain autoimmune disorders, and in some cases, chronic pain management. Its use should always follow consultation with a healthcare provider to ensure safety and appropriateness for the patient’s medical profile.
