Naltima 50 mg (Naltrexone 50 mg) – Product Information

💊 Product Description
Support for Alcohol & Opioid Dependence Recovery

Naltima 50 mg contains Naltrexone, an opioid receptor antagonist used as part of a comprehensive treatment program for people recovering from alcohol dependence or opioid addiction. It does not cause addiction and does not produce withdrawal symptoms.

Naltrexone works by blocking the effects of opioids and reducing cravings for alcohol. It helps prevent relapse by eliminating the pleasurable sensations associated with alcohol or opioid use.

Naltima 50 mg is commonly prescribed for:

• Alcohol dependence

• Prevention of relapse in opioid dependence

• Reducing cravings and loss of control

• Support in long-term de-addiction therapy

Key Benefits:

⭐ Reduces Cravings: Helps you stay in control and avoid relapse
⭐ Blocks “High” Effects: Stops opioids/alcohol from producing euphoria
⭐ Non-Addictive: No dependency or withdrawal risk
⭐ Improves Long-Term Recovery: Works best with counselling and behavioural therapy
