What Is Naltrexone 2mg?

Naltrexone is a prescription medication that blocks opioid receptors in the brain. At standard doses, it is FDA-approved for the treatment of alcohol dependence and for blocking the effects of opioids in people who have stopped using them. The 2mg capsule strength, known as Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), is prescribed at much lower doses than the standard 50mg tablet and is often used off-label under a provider's guidance. Because it works differently at low doses, LDN is being studied for conditions involving pain and inflammation.

What Does Naltrexone 2mg Treat?

Alcohol use disorder (alcohol dependence)
Blockade of opioid effects after opioid detoxification
Prevention of relapse to opioid dependence
Chronic pain, including fibromyalgia (off-label, low dose)
Inflammatory and autoimmune conditions (off-label, low dose)

Naltrexone 2mg Dosage

Alcohol dependence (standard FDA labeling): 50 mg by mouth once daily.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is naltrexone used for?

Naltrexone is FDA-approved to treat alcohol use disorder and to help prevent relapse in people who have stopped using opioids. At low doses like 2mg, it is often prescribed off-label for conditions such as chronic pain, based on a provider's clinical judgment.

What is Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)?

Low Dose Naltrexone refers to naltrexone prescribed at doses much lower than the standard 50mg, typically 0.5mg to 4.5mg. Providers may prescribe LDN off-label for chronic pain and inflammatory conditions; discuss expected benefits and evidence with your prescriber.

Do I need a prescription for naltrexone?

Yes. Naltrexone is a prescription-only medication in the United States. A licensed provider must review your health history and issue a valid prescription before this pharmacy can dispense it.

How does ordering and shipping work?

After you submit your prescription or complete a provider review, our pharmacists verify the order. Once approved, your medication ships directly from our licensed U.S. pharmacy to your address.

Can I take naltrexone while using opioids?

What are the most common side effects of naltrexone?

Common side effects include nausea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, and sleep changes such as vivid dreams. Most are mild, but contact your provider if side effects persist or worsen.
