At LRockRx compounding pharmacy, we specialize in providing personalized medication solutions, including Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). LDN is an innovative solution that has been gaining attention for its potential benefits in managing a variety of conditions with an inflammatory component, including autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, and certain neurological disorders.
What is Low Dose Naltrexone?
Naltrexone is a medication traditionally used at higher doses (50mg or more) to manage alcohol or opioid dependence. However, when used at much lower doses (typically between 1.5mg and 4.5mg), it has been found to have different pharmacological effects that can assist in the management of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. This low dosage helps modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation without some of the side effects sometimes experienced at higher doses.
How LDN Works
Low Dose Naltrexone works by temporarily blocking opioid receptors in the brain, which are part of the body’s natural pain and recovery system. This blockade is believed to result in an increase in the production of endorphins and enkephalins, the body’s natural painkillers and mood enhancers. By enhancing the body’s own defense mechanisms, LDN can help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life in patients with various chronic conditions.
Conditions Commonly Helped with LDN?
LDN has been used to help manage symptoms in a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:
- Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis (MS), and Crohn’s disease
- Chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
- Neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease
- Certain cancers and HIV/AIDS-related symptoms
