What is Nodict (Naltrexone Hydrochloride) used for?

Nodict (Naltrexone) is used along with other medications and counselling to treat patients addicted to opioids by preventing the experience of their effects. It operates by blocking opioid receivers in the brain to prevent the euphoric sensations it causes. Your doctor may also prescribe it to treat other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Nodict (Naltrexone Hydrochloride)?

It is important to strictly follow your doctor`s instructions while using Nodict (Naltrexone) to ensure the safest and most effective results from treatment.
