INDICATION
 Blocks the euphoric and sedative effects of opioids such as
heroin, morphine, and codeine. Naltrexone binds and blocks
opioid receptors, and reduces and suppresses opioid cravings.
 A selective competitive antagonist of the gamma-aminobutyric
acid (GABA) receptor and is the only available specific antidote
for benzodiazepine (BZD) toxicity; it will reverse the effects of
BZDs but must be used with caution.
 To treat hereditary orotic aciduria. Hereditary orotic aciduria is a
rare metabolic disease that is caused by uridine deficiency.
 Indicated for the complete or partial reversal of opioid drug
effects, including respiratory depression, induced by either
natural or synthetic opioids. REVEX is indicated in the
management of known or suspected opioid overdose.

indigestion. Also used to relieve itching related to kidney dialysis

 To help speed up the body's elimination of certain metals or
chemical elements. It works by binding to the metals in the
