Promotes Weight Loss

Naltrexone can also help achieve healthier weight, thus, reducing one’s risk for obesity-related diseases. Studies show that this drug works by reducing food intake:
1. In obese men, increasing doses of naltrexone (25 to 200 mg) given over 4 consecutive days reduced food intake by 30%. [54]
2. Long-term therapy with naltrexone (8 weeks) reduced body weight of obese women by an average of 1.7 kg. [55]
3. Administration of naltrexone alone in obese patients significantly reduced body weight. [56]
4. In patients with damaged metabolism, naltrexone treatment resulted in restoration of energy expenditure. [57]
