Naltrexone Shortage: Compounding Pharmacy Solution
What is Naltrexone?
Naltrexone is a medication that treats both alcohol and opioid use disorder. It works by blocking the effects of these substances in the brain. This reduces cravings and the pleasurable effects associated with them. Naltrexone has also become increasingly popular as a tool for weight management. This is because it can help regulate appetite and promote feelings of fullness.
