figure Naltrexone HCl should be Naltrexone HCl no matter what the

brand name is, but I'd just like to make sure there isn't any sort of

time-release aspect to this stuff before we try it out. "

Hi ... Naltima is a 50mg naltrexone tablet manufactured by the

INTAS Company in India. You can look at their website...

http://www.intaspharma.com/

Nalrexone tablets are manufactured by many different pharmaceutical

companies around the world. Here's an overview:

As of February 2005, Barr manufactures ReVia in 50mg pills in the U.S.

and Canada. Bristol Myers Squibb markets ReVia in countries outside

of the U.S. and Canada. (When you buy Mexican ReVia, it's made by

Bristol Myers Squibb.)

Other naltrexone tablets are manufactured in the U.S. by Eon Labs and

Amide Pharmaceutical; Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals manufactures 50mg

and 100mg naltrexone pills in the U.S. under the trade name Depade.

Other 50mg versions of naltrexone are named Narpan (by Duopharma in

Malaysia), Antaxone (by Pharmazam in Spain), Celupan (by Lacer in

Spain), Narcoral (by Siton in Italy), Nemexin (Bristol Myers Squibb in

Germany), Naltrexona (Spain).

Trexoni is the brand of naltrexone that is used for veterinary

purposes.... in case we all get REALLY desperate... : )

Since Naltima is a 50mg tab, I'm assuming you're going to dissolve it

in water to get a lower dose. Dissolving it in water should take

care of any time-release issues.

Hope this helps.
