At SA IV Center in San Antonio, we offer Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) as a safe, research-supported treatment for chronic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, and more. Unlike high-dose naltrexone used for opioid addiction, LDN works by enhancing your body’s natural healing processes—with minimal side effects.
Low Dose Naltrexone refers to a microdose of naltrexone, typically between 1.5 mg and 4.5 mg daily, compared to the 50–100 mg doses used to treat opioid dependence. At this lower dose, naltrexone interacts with the body in a unique way, stimulating endorphin production and calming overactive immune responses.
LDN briefly binds to opioid receptors, “tricking” the brain into releasing more endogenous opioids—your body’s natural painkillers. It also regulates microglial cells in the nervous system, which reduces inflammation and helps alleviate symptoms like pain, brain fog, and fatigue.
Low Dose Naltrexone has been used to treat and support the following conditions:
Does Low Dose Naltrexone Help with Weight Loss? Some patients report reduced food cravings and appetite while using LDN. While not a primary indication, LDN may support weight loss as part of a broader wellness plan.
Are There Side Effects? LDN is well tolerated by most patients, with side effects reported in fewer than 8% of users. Potential side effects include: - Mild insomnia (usually resolves in 1–2 weeks) - Vivid dreams or nightmares - Mild nausea (rare)
How Do You Take LDN? Most patients begin at 1.5 mg/day, increasing by 1.5 mg weekly up to a maximum of 4.5 mg/day. Your SA IV Center provider will create a personalized dosing schedule to ensure maximum benefit with minimal discomfort.
