Naltrexone Tablets (nodict By Sun Pharma)

Generic Revia (Nodict by Sun Pharma or Nalsign by Hab Pharma) - Product Information

This also holds good in patients who continue drinking while taking Naltrexone tablets, but then it is less effective in helping such people to stop completely.

Generic Revia (Nodict tablets) has not been seen to provide any therapeutic benefit except as part of an suitable plan of management for alcohol and opioid addictions. Nodict tablets are manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. in the strengths of 50 mg.

Warnings and Precautions

The following are the warnings and precutions to be taken when undergoing treatment with Generic Revia (Nodict Tablets):

• Naltrexone tablets have the ability to cause hepatocellular injury when given in excessive doses.
• Naltrexone tablets are contraindicated in acute hepatitis or liver failure, and its use in patients with active liver disease must be carefully considered in light of its hepatotoxic effects.
• Since Naltrexone is a potent antagonist with a prolonged pharmacologic effect (24 to 72 hours), the blockade produced by Naltrexone can be overcome. This is useful in the case of patients who may require analgesia, but poses a potential threat to individuals who attempt, on their own, to overcome the blockade by administering large amounts of exogenous opioids.
• For emergency situations which may arise in patients receiving fully blocking doses of naltrexone, a suggested plan of management is regional analgesia, conscious sedation with a benzodiazepine, use of non-opioid analgesics or general anesthesia.
• Severe opioid withdrawal syndromes caused by the accidental ingestion of Naltrexone tablets have been reported in opioid-dependent individuals.
• Naltrexone and its primary metabolite are excreted mainly in the urine, and caution is recommended in administering the drug to patients with renal impairment.
• Precautions should be taken when Naltrexone HCl tablets are administered to patients with liver disease.
• The possibility of suicide is known to be increased in patients with substance abuse with or without concomitant depression. This risk is not decreased by treatment with Naltrexone.
