Naltivia contains Naltrexone, a medication primarily used to help people who are trying to recover from alcohol dependence or opioid addiction. It is not a cure for addiction, but it supports recovery by reducing cravings and the effects of substances if they are taken again.

Mechanism of Action
Naltrexone works by blocking opioid receptors in the brain. These receptors are responsible for the pleasurable and reinforcing effects of substances like opioids and alcohol. By occupying these receptors, Naltrexone prevents opioids from having an effect and reduces alcohol cravings, making relapse less rewarding and easier to resist.

Uses
Naltivia is used in:

• Opioid dependence, to prevent relapse after detoxification

• Alcohol dependence, to reduce the urge to drink and help maintain abstinence

• It is often part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes psychological support and lifestyle changes

  Adverse Effects
  While Naltrexone is generally well tolerated, some individuals may experience:

  • Nausea, stomach cramps, or diarrhea

  • Headache, tiredness, or trouble sleeping

  • Joint or muscle pain

  • Mood changes, such as anxiety or irritability

  • In rare cases, liver-related issues may occur, especially with high doses
