Naltrexone (brand name: Naltex) is a medication that has been approved for use in the treatment of alcohol and opioid addiction (opioid drugs). It works by blocking opioid receptors, which can reduce cravings for alcohol and reduce the pleasure associated with opioid use:
Naltrexone has also been studied as a potential therapeutic agent for gambling addiction (pathological gambling). However, its effectiveness in this area is not as conclusively confirmed as in the case of alcohol and opioid addiction. Some research suggests that naltrexone may be beneficial in reducing impulsivity and frequency of gambling.
The decision to prescribe naltrexone for the treatment of gambling addiction depends on the individual case's assessment by the doctor.
If you are concerned about this situation, it is always advisable to consult a doctor who can give you more personalized advice. If you do not have the opportunity to take advantage of the advice, I am attaching a link to the online teleconsultation:
