Compounding Information

Our Low Dose Naltrexone is compounded in veggie capsules using Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) (Avicel®, PH-105) as the filler. This ensures a high-quality product that is free from common allergens and fillers that could interfere with absorption.

Dosage Forms and Strengths

LDN is available in multiple forms to suit individual preferences, including:

  • Capsules: Strengths ranging from 0.5mg to 4.5mg.
  • Suspensions: Prepared at a concentration of 1mg/ml, with a 90-day beyond-use date.

Transdermal Cream: Available in strengths up to 4.5mg/ml for localized treatment.

Side Effects

LDN is known to be safe and well-tolerated, with a minimal side effect profile. Commonly reported side effects include:
