I’m confused. When I googled Naltrexone, it warns: “Alcohol: Avoid. Very serious interactions can occur”. So are you supposed to take it hours before drinking or something else?

The whole point of using Naltrexone to treat alcohol abuse is to use the adverse reactions to foster aversion to counteract the desire to drink.


It is Definitely safe to take with alcohol. Not sure where your seeing that it's not.

“It is for some people less unsafe, in a very specific treatment model, with alcohol than continuing untreated alcohol dependence is” would be more accurate.
