Naltrexone is used along with counseling and social support to help patients who are dependent on alcohol to abstain from drinking alcoholic drinks.

This medicine is not recommended for use in patients less than 18 years of age.
How To Take
Take this medication by mouth with a low-fat meal as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily. You may have trouble sleeping when you start taking this drug. Do not take your evening dose too close to bedtime. Swallow the tablets whole. Do not crush or chew this medication.
