Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) has taken healthcare by storm in the last 10 years.
Low Dose Naltrexone is commonly mistaken as Naltrexone, by patients and medical providers alike. Naltrexone was approved by the FDA in the mid-1980s for drug and alcohol addiction. Naltrexone as prescribed for alcohol addiction is in dosages of 50 mg – 300 mg. Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is approximately 1/10th of the typical treatment dosage of Naltrexone. In most published research, the daily dosage is 4.5 mg, though the dosage can vary a few milligrams below or above that common value.
