Overview
Naltrexone, also known as Low-Dose Naltrexone, is an opiate antagonist used to modulate the immune system and aid in addressing a variety of symptoms. It works by briefly blocking opioid receptors, which may lead to a rebound increase in the body’s natural endorphins. Olympia provides these medications in the form of rapid dissolving tablets (RDT’s).
