Nodict 50 mg
Nodict 50 mg is an opioid antagonist used for the treatment of alcoholism (chronic alcoholism) and opioid dependence. Alcoholism is a chronic disease characterized by a present or past history of binge drinking, a strong desire for alcohol, continued use despite previous drinking problems, and an inability to control alcohol consumption. Opioid dependence is a condition in which the body becomes physically dependent on a drug to avoid withdrawal. Instead of producing sufficient opioids on its own, the body has begun to rely on external sources to maintain normal function.
50 mg of Nodict contains ‘Naltrexone’
It works by inhibiting the effects of opioid receptors, thereby reducing alcohol and opioid cravings. However, it is administered in conjunction with counseling and social support to help alcoholics quit drinking.

Drug Recommendations
Naltrexone should be taken according to your physician’s instructions, and you should inform him or her if you are allergic to it. Before beginning Naltrexone, you should inform your doctor if you are taking any other prescription or natural medications. Women who are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding should use naltrexone with caution. Naltrexone is not recommended for patients with liver or kidney disease, depression, or suicidal tendencies. Patients taking opioid analgesics are not candidates for naltrexone. When there is a history of bleeding disorders (thrombocytopenia), rare inherited conditions such as galactose intolerance, or abrupt opiate withdrawal, naltrexone should be administered cautiously. When combined with Naltrexone treatment, high doses of opioids can result in life-threatening opioid poisoning due to impaired respiration and circulation. Due to the increased risk of liver damage, alcohol consumption is not advised while taking this medication. Observe the patient for the next thirty minutes for signs of withdrawal symptoms. If withdrawal symptoms appear, one should avoid name therapy. Inform your doctor or dentist if you require medical treatment or surgery, including dental surgery, while taking Nodict 50 mg.

Before prescribing it to you, your physician will weigh the benefits and potential risks. Please consult with a physician.
BREAST FEEDING
Using naltrexone while nursing is likely safe. On the basis of limited human data, it appears that the medication poses no significant risk to the fetus.

Advice on Diet and Lifestyle
A patient is encouraged to consume a high-carbohydrate diet, particularly complex carbohydrates found in starchy foods such as legumes (e.g., beans, lentils, and peas), root vegetables (e.g., potatoes and carrots), pasta, and bread, in order to increase serotonin levels, which make a person feel happy. It is beneficial to consume these foods alongside protein at meals.
B-complex vitamin deficiencies such as thiamine, folate or folic acid, and B12, as well as low levels of other B vitamins and vitamin C, are common in alcoholics. Vitamins and supplements should only be taken after consulting a physician.
Those who consume a lot of alcohol typically develop malnutrition over time. The patient’s fatigue and weakened immune system render him more susceptible to infection. These issues must be identified and treated during the healing process, ideally by a team of health care specialists.
The patient should prioritize beverages such as apple cider, vanilla shake, blending juice or lemonade with sparkling water, etc.
Get sufficient exercise and rest.
If at all possible, reduce your caffeine intake and quit smoking.
Recommendations
Check your liver function tests frequently.
Patients should be opioid-free for at least 7-10 days prior to treatment.
