Naltrexone belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid antagonists. Naltrexone blocks opiate drugs from binding to the opioid receptors, which can result in increased endorphin and enkephalin release. Therefore, this results in reduced: 1. signaling and release of inflammatory substances, 2. nerve cell inflammation and 3. autoimmune mediators.
• Down regulates inflammatory cytokine release, oncogene expression and auto-immune cascades
• In the Central Nervous System (CNS) it reduces toll-like receptor signaling and glial cell activation resulting in reduced inflammatory cytokines and reduced neuro-inflammation
• In the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) it modulates T & B lymphocyte production (example: gut inflammation), and reduces inflammatory cytokines (IL6, IL12, TNF alpha) and suppresses tumor growth factor (NF-kB)
When taken at bedtime, the short acting LDN binds to the receptors which leads to a brief blockade of opioid receptors between 2 am and 4 am. This blockade is believed to up-regulate vital elements of the immune system by causing an increase in endorphin and enkephalin production.
It’s important to ask questions when researching medications, especially when it comes to pain relief. Many individuals looking for alternatives to addictive opioids have found Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) can be the solution. T&C Compounding’s John Herr, RPh., has become a national expert by studying and connecting with global experts in LDN, and has helped a vast amount of patients get through chronic pain.

Find the right LDN Dosage Form for your specific needs & preferences.
The titration kit enables a patient to start their low dose naltrexone therapy and slowly ease into the dose that is appropriate for them. Kit determines personal effective dose, or maintenance dose that is right for the patient.
Taking LDN in oral capsules by mouth is the most cost-effective means of administering naltrexone and it’s the one we see most commonly prescribed. The capsules may be compounded lactose free & specific allergens can be avoided upon request.
Naltrexone in a liquid may be prescribed for patients who may have a hard time swallowing oral capsules or for patients who may have to adjust their dose quite often or who have not yet found their perfect dose. Flavored to preference.
Some medical conditions require the topical administration of naltrexone alone or in combination with other active pharmaceutical ingredients (API’s). LDN is compounded into elegant topical cream bases that are non-irritating for the patient.
Certain medical conditions may require LDN to be administered by itself or in combination with another drug in a vaginal cream or gel.

Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) has been demonstrated to reduce symptom severity in conditions such as fibromyalgia, Crohn’s disease,multiple sclerosis, and complex regional pain syndrome. We review the evidence that LDN may operate as a novel anti-inflammatory agent in the central nervous system, via action on microglial cells.
This review covers the typical usage of LDN in clinical trials, caveats to using the medication, and recommendations for future research and clinical work. LDN may represent one of the first glial cell modulators to be used for the management of chronic pain disorders.

Recently, NBC News released a fascinating report linking central nervous system inflammation and Alzheimer’s. If true, is the first truly “attackable” angle to help prevent and potentially mitigate the symptoms of Alzheimer’s.
This could hold opportunities to advance and focus medication development towards neuroinflammation.
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), may be exceptionally good at reducing neuroinflammation, to the point where it could accomplish symptom reductions for neurological diseases and conditions that aren’t possible with other medications.
