Apo Naltrexone How to Take

Naltrexone belongs to a group of medications known as pure opioid antagonists. It is used to help individuals who were previously dependent on drugs of addiction (such as alcohol, or opiate drugs such as Methadone and heroin) to remain free from their dependence.

Opiate drugs (also known as opioid drugs) and opioids that are naturally part of the body affect certain parts of the brain called opiate receptors. Naltrexone works by binding to these opiate receptors to block the effects of opiates drugs and the body's own opiates. It is believed that this helps prevent a person from returning to using these substances.

Apo Naltrexone is used together with other forms of treatment such as psychological counselling and social support.

Your doctor may have suggested Apo Naltrexone for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. As well, some forms of Apo Naltrexone may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Apo Naltrexone, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Apo Naltrexone without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Apo Naltrexone to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Apo Naltrexone if their doctor has not prescribed it.

Apo Naltrexone Dosage

The dose of Apo Naltrexone depends on the type of dependence it is being used to treat, and whether administration of the medication will be supervised.

To treat Alcoholism, the usual recommended dose is 50 mg once daily.

To treat opioid dependence (e.g., addiction to methadone or heroin), the dose will vary but the usual starting dose is 25 mg once daily, to be slowly increased to the most appropriate dose.

Your doctor will determine a dose and dosing schedule for your individual situation. It is important that you take Apo Naltrexone exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Your doctor may request a urine sample before initiating treatment with Apo Naltrexone in order to make sure that you have not used any narcotics (opioid drugs) within the previous 7 to 10 days. You should not take Apo Naltrexone if there is any possibility that you have used an opiate within the previous 7 to 10 days. If there is any question about your opiate use, your doctor may request that you take a NARCAN challenge test in order to confirm that your body is opiate-free before you take Apo Naltrexone.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Apo Naltrexone at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

Apo Naltrexone Warnings

Before you begin taking a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should take Apo Naltrexone.

Accidental ingestion: If you are dependent on narcotics and you accidentally ingest Apo Naltrexone, you could experience severe symptoms of withdrawal including confusion, nausea, shakiness, sweating, anxiety, visual hallucinations, vomiting, or diarrhea. Do not give Apo Naltrexone to anyone else, especially people who are dependent on opiate drugs.

Alcohol: You should not drink alcohol while taking Apo Naltrexone as this could damage your liver.

Interference with opiate-containing mediations: Because Apo Naltrexone works by blocking the effects of opiates, it may interfere with other medications that contain opiates such as certain cough and cold medications, antidiarrheal medications, and some analgesics (pain medications). Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about non-opiate containing alternatives.

Kidney function: If you have reduced kidney function your doctor may lower your dose of Apo Naltrexone. Your doctor may also request that you have regular kidney function tests while you are taking Apo Naltrexone.

Liver function: Naltrexone can cause liver injury. If you have reduced liver function your doctor may lower your dose of Apo Naltrexone. Your doctor may also request that you have regular liver function tests while you are taking Apo Naltrexone. If you experience symptoms of liver problems such as fatigue, feeling unwell, loss of appetite, nausea, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, dark urine, pale stools, abdominal pain or swelling, and itchy skin, contact your doctor immediately.

Overdose: If you accidentally overdose on Apo Naltrexone, seek medical attention immediately.

Suicide: People with substance abuse problems are at a higher risk of suicide. The use of naltrexone does not lower this risk.

Taking opioid drugs: If you attempt to overcome the blocking effects of naltrexone by taking opiates, this may result in breathing difficulties and death. Do not take opiates while you are on Apo Naltrexone. Furthermore, you may be more sensitive to lower doses of opiates after treatment with naltrexone. A smaller dose than previously used may be required to achieve the same effect.

Treatment of alcohol dependence: The use of naltrexone for the treatment of alcohol dependence has only been studied for a dosage regimen of 50 mg once daily for up to 12 weeks. The efficacy of naltrexone beyond 12 weeks in this population is not known.

Pregnancy: Apo Naltrexone should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking Apo Naltrexone, contact your doctor immediately.

Breast-feeding: It is not known if naltrexone passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking Apo Naltrexone, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.

Children: The safety and effectiveness of using Apo Naltrexone have not been established for children less than 18 years of age.
