Hi-Doctor does not prescribe Naltrexone yet.
Our licensed doctors currently focus on three areas with solid clinical evidence and a clear EU regulatory framework. We extend the catalogue as specialists join and regulation allows. Naltrexone is outside the current scope.
Buying Naltrexone online without a valid prescription carries counterfeiting and toxicity risks. Always consult a licensed healthcare professional.
IN PLAIN TERMS
What Naltrexone is, and how to get treatment
Naltrexone blocks the opioid receptors in the brain. In EU countries it is authorised, as part of a wider treatment programme, to help people with alcohol dependence and people who have come off opioids and want to stay off them. "Low-dose naltrexone" (LDN), taken at a fraction of the licensed dose for pain or fatigue conditions, is not an authorised medicine anywhere in the EU — it is compounded and used off-label. Hi-Doctor treats hair loss, weight management and sexual health, and does not treat alcohol or opioid dependence.
Naltrexone is an authorised medicine in the EU, so a licensed doctor can prescribe it when it is clinically appropriate for you.

VERIFIED EVIDENCE
Naltrexone: evidence and regulatory guide.
WHAT IT IS
How it works
Blocks opioid receptors in the brain, so opioid drugs cannot produce their effect and the rewarding sensation from alcohol is blunted.

Every NCT identifier links to its ClinicalTrials.gov record. A readout is not the same as peer-reviewed publication.
| TRIAL / NCT | POPULATION | PARTICIPANTS | STATUS | READOUT / COMPLETION |

| COMBINE (Combined Pharmacotherapies and Behavioral Interventions for Alcohol Dependence)NCT00006206 | Recently abstinent adults with a primary diagnosis of alcohol dependence, across 11 US academic sites | 1,383 | Read out | 2006-05-03 |
What the studies reported
Results are grouped by source and evidence grade so journal data and manufacturer announcements cannot be confused.
Peer-reviewed
Anton RF, O'Malley SS, Ciraulo DA, et al. Combined pharmacotherapies and behavioral interventions for alcohol dependence: the COMBINE study: a randomized controlled trial. JAMA 2006;295(17):2003-2017. doi:10.1001/jama.295.17.2003| DOSE OR GROUP | MEAN WEIGHT CHANGE | WEEKS |
|---|---|---|
| naltrexone 100 mg daily with medical management | 80.6% of days abstinent, versus 75.1% with placebo plus medical management | 16 |
| naltrexone 100 mg daily with medical management | Hazard ratio for time to a heavy drinking day 0.72 (97.5% CI 0.53–0.98; P=.02) | 16 |
Naltrexone was tested alongside structured medical management and counselling, not on its own; the size of the benefit was modest and depended on that surrounding support.
NAMED SAFETY SIGNALS
What has been reported with Naltrexone.
Must be opioid-free before starting
Taking naltrexone while opioids are still in the body precipitates acute withdrawal, so a documented opioid-free interval and supervision are required before the first dose.
Blocks opioid pain relief
While on naltrexone, opioid painkillers will not work normally — this matters in an accident or emergency, and patients are advised to carry a warning card.
Common side effects
Nausea, headache, dizziness, anxiety and difficulty sleeping.
Liver
Liver function is monitored; naltrexone is not used in acute hepatitis or liver failure.
Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) is not an authorised product
LDN — roughly a tenth of the licensed dose, taken for pain, fatigue or autoimmune conditions — has no EU marketing authorisation. It is compounded and used entirely off-label, and systematic reviews of it in fibromyalgia report mixed results from small trials rather than regulatory-grade evidence.
