Restore your body's balance with low dose naltrexone

Low-dose naltrexone is a medication used off-label to help regulate immune function and reduce inflammation. It works by temporarily blocking opioid receptors, stimulating the body to produce more endorphins, which improves immune balance and reduces chronic symptoms.

LDN blocks opioid receptors briefly, triggering a rebound increase in natural endorphins. These endorphins help regulate immune activity, reduce inflammation, and improve pain and mood symptoms over time.

LDN has been shown to reduce pain, fatigue, and inflammation in patients with autoimmune, neurological, and inflammatory disorders. It may also improve sleep, cognitive function, and emotional well-being.

Avoid opioid pain medications, as LDN blocks their effect. Also, avoid alcohol and coordinate with your provider before combining with SSRIs, antihistamines, or immunosuppressants.

Some patients feel improvement in sleep and energy within 1–2 weeks. Pain and autoimmune symptom relief may take 4–12 weeks. Full benefits may take 3–6 months of consistent use.

LDN is compounded and often prescribed off-label, so insurance may not cover it. However, our office can provide itemized receipts for potential reimbursement or HSA use.

Weight gain is not a known side effect. In fact, many patients report reduced inflammation and improved energy that supports healthy metabolism and weight stability.

LDN can be taken long-term and is considered safe for extended use under medical supervision. Many patients stay on it for months or years depending on their condition and goals.
