Frequently Asked Questions
LDN refers to doses of naltrexone far below those used for addiction treatment (typically ≤ 5 mg). At these low doses, it behaves differently — modulating immune and inflammatory pathways rather than acting solely as an opioid blocker.
Commercial naltrexone is normally available only in much higher doses (e.g. 50 mg). To get precise, safe low doses, compounding is required.
It can be compounded as oral capsules, sublingual tablets, liquid suspensions, or topical/cream forms, depending on patient preference and absorption needs.
It often takes weeks to months to see full benefit, but many patients notice initial improvements in inflammation, pain, or energy within a few weeks.
LDN is generally well tolerated. Some patients may experience vivid dreams, sleep changes, or mild GI symptoms during initial adjustment. We monitor closely and adjust dosing as needed.
