Naltrexone and Weight Loss are not interlinked
Naltrexone and Weight Loss are not interlinked
Among the people a misconception is found that the
treatment of obesity can be done by the use of Naltrexone; it is not taken to
reduce the weight, it is taken to suppress the pleasurable feelings of alcohol and
opioid in the brain of the patient. The patient starts reducing the use of
abusive drugs with the passage of time; eventually, the patient gets rid of
alcohol as well as abusive drugs. There is no link between the Naltrexone and weight loss. However, Bupropion
is the medicine administered to control the wait of the patient. The drug has
effects on the eating habits of the patient.
While treating the alcoholic or opioid patient the
doctors buy low dose Naltrexone; the
patient is not habitual of taking a new medicine in a large dose; it may have
side effects on the brain of the patients in the beginning. The concerned
doctor determines when to increase the dose of the drug to treat the patient
quickly but in a safe manner. The drug reaches the brain to suppress the
pleasurable feelings of alcohol or opioid; the heavy dose can directly affect
the nervous system; as a result, some neural complication may occur.
Naltrexone has a successful history of treating
alcoholics and opioid patients. The drug is considered to be harmless.
Nevertheless, some unproven reports claim that the drug has some side effects.
According to the reports, some cases have been recorded in which the patient
suffered side effects of the drug under discussion. It is noteworthy that neither
the reports nor the cases have been properly proven by any concerned doctor.
The side effects are said to be minor; for example, vomiting, feeling dizzy,
rashes, and headache; in some severe cases, the swelling of body limbs are
observed.
Naltrexone medication has successfully treated the patients ever since it
was introduced to the market. Earlier, the drug was only administered in the
form of tablets. Still the veteran doctors think that it is the best means of
treating the patients; nevertheless, injection and implantation of the drug
have also been introduced. Many of the doctors are also injecting the drug;
some of them have implanted it. Both methods of treating the patients are less
popular than the tablets. In ranking the tablets are still at the top of the
list; the injection comes 2nd in athe ranking list; the implantation
is the third unpopular option.
