NODICT 50MG 10 Tablets

Nodict 50 mg

Nodict 50 mg belongs to the ‘opioid-antagonist’ class of drugs used to treat alcoholism (chronic alcoholism) and opioid addiction. Alcoholism is a chronic medical illness marked by a present or previous history of binge drinking, a strong desire for alcohol, ongoing usage despite previous drinking difficulties, and an inability to control alcohol consumption. Opioid dependence is a condition in which a person’s body becomes physically reliant on a substance in order to avoid withdrawal. Instead of producing enough opioids on its own, the body has begun to rely on opioids from outside sources to sustain normal function.

‘Naltrexone’ is present in Nodict 50 mg.  It works by inhibiting the effects of opioid receptors, reducing cravings and drives to use alcohol or opioids. However, it is used in conjunction with counseling and social support to help people who are addicted to alcohol stop drinking.

For optimal effects, take Nodict 50 mg as directed by your doctor, with or without food to avoid stomach disturbance, and at regular intervals every day. Joint discomfort, muscular soreness, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), weakness, anxiety, restlessness, fainting, increased thirst, decreased libido, and diminished sexual function are all frequent Nodict 50 mg adverse effects. The above side effects do not have to be experienced by everyone. Speak with a doctor if Nodict 50 mg causes any major side effects.

Take Nodict 50 mg exactly as your doctor prescribes, and let your doctor know if you have any allergies. If you are using any other natural or prescribed drugs, consult your doctor before taking Nodict 50 mg.  With pregnant/planning to get pregnant/breast-feeding women, Nodict 50 mg should be taken with caution. Nodict 50 mg is not suggested for patients with renal, liver, depression, or suicidal inclinations. In patients who are using opioid analgesics, Nodict 50 mg is not indicated. In the case of a history of bleeding disorders (thrombocytopenia), rare inherited conditions such as galactose intolerance, or abrupt opioid withdrawal, Nodict 50 mg should be used with caution.

Advice on Diet and Lifestyle

A patient is encouraged to eat a diet high in carbs, especially 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, to enhance serotonin levels, which makes a person feel happy. It is beneficial to eat such items in combination with protein in meals.

With alcoholism, B-complex vitamin deficiencies such as thiamine, folate or folic acid, and B12 are common, as are low levels of other B vitamins and vitamin C. Supplements and vitamins should only be taken after checking with a doctor.

Malnutrition is typical in people who drink a lot of alcohol, and it shows up gradually. The patient becomes exhausted and develops a weakened immune system, making him more vulnerable to infections. During the healing process, these issues must be identified and treated, ideally by a team of health care specialists.

Drinks such as apple cider, vanilla shake, blending juice or lemonade with sparkling water, and so on should be prioritized by the patient.

Get plenty of exercise and sleep.

If at all feasible, cut back on caffeine and quit smoking.

Recommendations

Regularly check your liver function tests.

Prior to starting treatment, patients should be opioid-free for at least 7-10 days.

Advise patients to avoid taking opioids while on Naltrexone.
