Since it’s used off label it has to be compounded at a compounding pharmacy. It’s called LDN (low dose naltrexone) and is useful for all kinds of diseases and conditions. eg. pain, MS, many different autoimmune diseases, etc. it doesn’t work for everyone but when it does it’s quite remarkable. It’s extremely safe and at such tiny doses serious side effects are non existent- unless someone happened to be extremely allergic.
It causes vivid dreams.

Here’s everything you need to know- there’s even an informational letter you can print off and give your doctor - that’s what I did. I can’t post links yet so you’ll have to look it up.

Hey Grateful Gran,

Here's a link to some information about Naltrexone and its role in pain management. I was aware it was used to combat alcoholism but not for pain relief.

Thanks

Atty
