Is Naltex only used for addictions?

Naltex has indications in case of addiction - it is used in combination with other drugs or therapy to help patients addicted to drugs from the opioid group, but it is also used as a drug to help maintain abstinence in the treatment of alcohol dependence. Its action is based on the fact that patients no longer experience a state of euphoria after drugs, and in the case of alcoholism there is a reduction in the need to drink alcohol, which limits the desire to reach for a psychoactive agent. In this sense, Naltex will limit the patient's desire to look for a stimulant and this can be referred to as "calming down". Although cases of sedative action cannot be excluded, Naltex is not a sedative in the pharmaceutical sense of the word, and in some cases - as a side effect - even nervousness, anxiety, rapid heartbeat may appear. Naltex is a prescription medicine and should be used when your doctor tells you to. In some cases, it may use Naltex outside of registered indications.
