George Schatz, MD – 8th August 2018(LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Dr. George Schatz who's an MD from Tuscan in Arizona shares his experience with Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN).

Opioids (narcotics) have been used for many years. It’s counter-intuitive to think that a drug like naltrexone which blocks the effect of opioids can help manage chronic pain. We do have some understanding that LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone) helps with autoimmune conditions.

Dickson Chemist developed a new formulation of LDN which will hopefully improve the outcomes for patients. This new formulation is a more concentrated liquid in the form of drops which are administered under the tongue and absorbed directly from the mucosal lining of the mouth. This sublingual route produces a more rapid absorption bypassing the liver and digestive tract. There are several potential advantages to this, the drug may be more effective and will not be affected by the presence of food stuffs or the hostile environment of the gut.
