Revia

The physician prescribes naltrexone (ReVia) 25 mg PO initially. The nurse is to observe the patient carefully and if no withdrawal signs appear, 100 mg PO of the drug is prescribed every other day. On hand is naltrexone 50-mg tablets. The nurse administers as the initial dose. [Pg.184]

Naltrexone (ReVia). Naltrexone is another medication that has specific FDA approval for the treatment of alcohol use disorders. It is used as an interference therapy. Naltrexone blocks opioid receptors in the brain and is believed to reduce alcohol-induced euphoria. The absence of pleasurable effects associated with alcohol consumption should plausibly lead to a decrease in the behavior of drinking alcohol. Evidence to date has demonstrated that recovering alcoholics treated with naltrexone have fewer days of drinking and longer periods of sobriety between relapses. [Pg.195]

Naltrexone (ReVia). Naltrexone is a very potent antagonist of the actions of opiates. It has been used to reduce the rewarding effects of not only opiates but alcohol as well. Like buprenorphine, naltrexone appears to reduce craving for opiates by blocking their pleasurable effects. Naltrexone is not useful for detoxification and in fact worsens withdrawal. Naltrexone can be useful for maintenance treatment in those patients motivated to achieve total abstinence. It is taken at a constant dose of 50mg/day. A sustained-release depot formulation currently under development will likely help to overcome adherence issues that often undermine treatment for substance use disorders. [Pg.204]

Finally, as noted earlier, comorbid substance abuse, particularly with bipolar male patients, is a strong predictor of suicide-related lethality. It is critically important to recognize these complicating disorders and aggressively intervene with appropriate clinical strategies. Referral to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and other related counseling support programs, as well as prescription of naltrexone (Revia) in the appropriate patients, may also help to diminish the risk of serious morbidity (see also the section The Alcoholic Patient in Chapter 14). [Pg.185]
