Revia (Naltrexone Hydrochloride) and/or alternatives

General Information On Revia

Revia (Naltrexone) helps in blocking the effects of narcotic and alcoholic substances. This is the reason why this oral drug is used to treat narcotic substance addiction or alcohol addiction. The chief reason for this drug’s success in treating narcotic or alcohol addiction is because it is an opioid antagonist, which means it completely blocks and reverses the effect caused by any narcotic substance in the body. In certain cases, the use of this drug precipitates withdrawal symptoms.

Side Effects for Revia

The common side effects of Revia include mild withdrawal symptoms like nausea, stomach cramps, bone or joint pain, blurred vision, hallucinations, confusion, mood changes and breathing difficulty. Other side effects include restlessness, anxiety, depression, irritability, lightheadedness, fainting, excessive thirst, weakness, insomnia, decreased libido, inability to have an orgasm, and impotence. In some cases, the patients also exhibit a tendency towards suicidal thoughts and attempts.

A change in the color of stools and urine is another common side effect of using Revia. Moreover, in some cases, patients exhibit jaundice like symptoms where the skin and eyes are yellow in color.

It is important to get immediate medical help if you exhibit any of the above symptoms.

Precautions

Always ensure that you do not consume Revia in a higher dosage than prescribed by your doctor, as an overdose is known to cause hepatocellular injury. This drug can turn into a hepatotoxin if consumed excessively, which means it can have adverse results in patients suffering from acute hepatitis or liver failure. Always inform your doctor about any kidney disease, liver disease, occurrence of hemophilia or other bleeding disorders before you buy Revia.

It is important to avoid this drug if you are allergic to Naltrexone or are experiencing acute drug or alcohol withdrawal symptoms. It is also important to discontinue the use of any drug or alcohol when you are being treated with Revia. Do not use this drug if you have consumed alcohol or drugs in the previous seven to ten days.

Carry some form of identification that indicates that you are consuming this drug at all times, so that this is considered if you need to be treated for any emergency.

Although there is no known adverse effect caused by this drug during pregnancy, it is important to inform your doctor if you are pregnant and discuss the pros and cons of its usage before you actually start using the drug.

Revia Dosage

Revia 50mg is the recommended dosage for most patients. The usual regimen for this drug entails that you consume the drug daily for at least 12 weeks. However, it is important that the patient does not consume any alcohol or narcotic substance when consuming the daily dose of Revia 50mg. As mentioned earlier, it is important to carry any form of paper or tag on your body to show that you are consuming this medication. For effective treatment, it is important that you consume this medication orally.

Interactions

It is important to note that Revia interferes and blocks the mechanisms of any pain relieving narcotics, which would automatically mean that you will actually experience the pain. Additionally, the drug also interacts adversely with other drugs like Buprenorphine, Butorphanol, Dezocine, Methadone, Naloxone, Oxycodone, and many more. It is important to inform your doctor about any such drug or medication usage before you start using Revia.
