The basics
What to expect
Low dose Naltrexone (LDN) is emerging as an effective therapeutic intervention for reducing inflammation. It works by subtly modulating the body's immune response, preventing the over-activation of immune cells that can lead to excess inflammation. Additionally, LDN plays a key role in balancing the body's endorphin levels. Endorphins, often referred to as 'feel-good' hormones, have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties, meaning an increase in their levels can help reduce inflammation
Side effects
Potential side effects of LDN may include insomnia, vivid dreams, and gastrointestinal issues such as nausea and diarrhea. These side effects are generally mild and often resolve with continued use. LDN is contraindicated in individuals currently using opioid medications, as it can interfere with their actions. Also, those with liver failure or hypersensitivity to naltrexone should avoid it.
Prescription instructions
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
