Oxycodone And Naltrexone
(Newest replies first)

Updated

please explain Naltrexone can have markedly different pharmacokinetics at ultra low doses which may include the attenuation of a pre-established opioid the prevention of tolerance from the oxycodone in the formulation, and the possible amplification of oxycodone

@John,

I don't know if you may be looking for a second opinion on this, but I think the previous post does a good job of putting into perspective how Naltrexone works to prevent the tolerance of opioids.

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, a 100mg dose of Naltrexone is said to provide a 96% blockade by the time 24 hours have passed, an 86.5% blockade after 48hrs, and a 46.6% blockade at the 72hr mark.

I also find the follwing articles very useful in understanding naltrexone's pharmacology and pharmacodynamics:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6791001

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1336752

I hope this helps!

Think of it as wiping the slate clean. Thats what naltrexone does to the opiod receptors thereby "erasing" tolerance and making the receptors more sensitive again
