My MD wrote me a scrip for regular Naltrexone

and I just throw a pill in distilled water and away I go. My insurance

copay was $7. for roughly a year’s supply. Ask your doctor if he

will write a scrip for regular strength. The pharmacy also provided a 50

ml bottle and oral dispense syringes at no additional charge. Break a

pill up and put it in 50 ml of distilled water, Let it dissolve and then use a

dispense syringe to measure the amount you wish to use. Keep bottle

stored in the refrigerator. Shake up just before using.

I do not know about Medicaid.

I doubt that any form of insurance pays for LDN because it is not yet

an

approved medication and has not gone through

clinical trials in this

country. There is one trial going on in Germany (I

think) that's almost

finished, but trials in other countries don't

generally get drugs approved

for coverage by American insurance companies, and

certainly not by

government insurance. It is possible that

medicaid might pay for high dose

naltrexone, which is approved for treating

substance abuse, and that if you

could get a doctor to prescribe Revia (high dose

naltrexone) for you, you

could then use it to make low dose naltrexone. But

I would be very

surprised if any insurance plan covers LDN.

I have Tri-care and Humana and it pays for mine.Vali Tamayo <valip@...> wrote:

I'm sure that most insurance pays for Naltrexone, but low dose naltrexone has not been approved by the FDA for the treatment of anything at all. So while insurance pays for Naltrexone in its high dosage, I doubt that any insurance will pay for LOW DOSE Naltrexone. But then since you can make low dose naltrexone from high dose naltrexone, it's not really a problem. (And I could be totally off base, and every insurance but mine may pay for low dose naltrexone.)ValiDate: Sun, 29 May 2005 20:06:56 -0500 From: "Sue Meier" <meiermom@...>Subject: Re: Re: Does MEDICAID pay for LDN?My insurance covered naltrexone....since it has gone generic it cost me $10.
