Hi John,

Did you mean to say Naltrexone by chance?

This medication is actually listed in a class of drugs known as opioid receptor antagonists.

It's primarily used as a treatment for managing both alcohol and opioid dependence. Apparently it works by reducing the pleasurable effects that alcohol would normally have on someone; making consumption less desirable I'd imagine.

You can learn more about this drug on the page for Naltrexone Details

Is this something your doctor had recommended?
