Naltrexone is manufactured as a 50 mg tablet. Prescribers who order it in low doses need a compounding pharmacy to prepare it. The pharmacy does compounding for low-dose naltrexone at our Lancaster store, ready in 1 to 2 business days with free shipping anywhere in Ohio.
What LDN is prescribed for, and whether it's appropriate, is between you and your prescriber.

How prescribers use these ingredients
- Low-dose naltrexone: Prescribed off-label at 0.5 to 8 mg, most often to support care plans for chronic pain and immune-related conditions. Full-dose naltrexone (50 mg) is FDA-approved for alcohol and opioid dependence.
- Oral liquid: Supports small, gradual dose changes during titration.
- Pyridoxine (B6): Vitamin B6, included as a supplement in the combination.
Notes describe common reasons prescribers choose each ingredient; some uses are off-label. They are not claims about our compounded preparations, which are not FDA-approved and whose safety and effectiveness have not been evaluated by FDA. Therapy decisions are the prescriber's.
For prescribers
Mark the compounds on our Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) order form or write your own formula, then e-prescribe to Medicine Shoppe #1018 or fax the form to (740) 653-8265. The prescriber guide covers the details, and the order forms are available to verified prescribers.
Questions we hear a lot
Why can't I get LDN at a regular pharmacy?
Low-dose strengths aren't manufactured, so the prescription has to be compounded.
Is there anything I shouldn't take with it?
Naltrexone blocks opioid medications. Tell your prescriber and pharmacist about every medication you take.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety or effectiveness. They are prepared for an individual patient on the order of a licensed prescriber. Nothing on this page is medical advice; ask your prescriber or pharmacist about any medication questions.
