NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Jun 06 –
When administered with narcotic opioids, such as morphine and oxycodone, naltrexone in doses 100,000 to one million times lower than that of the opioid, not only enhances analgesia, but prevents or reverses tolerance and physical dependency, according to a report presented here Thursday at the International Conference on Pain and Chemical Dependency.
Implications of this finding, Dr. Stanley Crain told Reuters Health, include the possibility that chronic pain patients may be maintained on low, stable doses of medication. All patients with and-stage cancer could possibly remain lucid while receiving adequate treatment for their pain.
