Low Dose Naltrexone FAQ

• What does LDN stand for?

Low Dose Naltrexone.

It describes naltrexone used at doses substantially below the conventional 50mg tablet strength.

• What strengths does RemiVida offer?

Our Starter Packs contain:
1mg, 2mg, 3mg and 4.5mg capsules.

The strength you actually take and when you change strength is determined by your prescription.

• How many capsules are in the £99 Starter Pack?

90 capsules:

• 20 × 1mg
• 20 × 2mg
• 20 × 3mg
• 20 × 4mg

• How many are in the £119 Extended Starter Pack?

120 capsules:

• 20 × 1mg
• 20 × 2mg
• 20 × 3mg
• 60 × 4mg

• Why is the Extended Pack better value?

It costs £20 more and contains 40 additional 4.5mg capsules.
That means 120 capsules for £119 — less than £1 per capsule.

• Is delivery included?

Delivery is £5.

• Is the consultation included?

Yes. The £99 or £119 package includes your online assessment and independent clinical review.

• Does paying mean I will receive LDN?

No – treatment is subject to clinical approval.

If the independent prescriber decides that LDN isn’t appropriate, a prescription will not be issued.

The applicable refund/cancellation terms should be clearly explained before payment.

• Is LDN the same as standard naltrexone?

The active medicine is naltrexone, but the dose and intended use are different.

LDN commonly involves doses of only a few milligrams.

• Can I split a 50mg tablet instead?

We wouldn’t recommend attempting to create your own LDN dose.

Accurately obtaining very small doses from a conventional tablet can be difficult.

Your prescribed LDN is prepared in the required strength by a specialist pharmacy.

• Do I have to reach 4.5mg?

Not necessarily.

Treatment should be individualised.

The objective isn’t simply to reach the highest strength in the pack. The appropriate dose depends on clinical response and tolerability and should be discussed with your prescriber.

• How quickly does LDN work?

There isn’t one reliable timescale.

Some people report changes relatively early, while others use LDN for considerably longer before deciding with their clinician whether it has provided worthwhile benefit.

We don’t guarantee that LDN will work or that benefits will occur within a particular period.

• Can I take LDN with other medication?

Possibly, but this must be assessed individually.

Opioid medicines are particularly important because naltrexone blocks opioid receptors.

Declare all medication during your assessment.

• Can I use LDN while pregnant?

Pregnancy, trying to conceive and breastfeeding should all be disclosed during your assessment.

The prescriber will determine whether treatment is appropriate.

• Can I drink alcohol while taking LDN?

Tell the prescriber about your alcohol consumption and follow the advice provided with your prescription.

• Is LDN available on the NHS?

LDN for the conditions described here is generally accessed privately rather than routinely prescribed as an NHS treatment.
