Why is Promethazine contraindicated with Naltrexone?

[Guest guest]

Fresh or dried ginger is a good anti-nausea option as is peppermint. Both of these foods are well tolerated when taking LDN.

We recently had the stomach flu in our house and our doc gave me and my son an anti-nausea drug Promethazine. On the hand-out they give you naltrexone was listed as contraindicated. Why, it is not a narcotic it is a H1 blocker?Thanks, P. A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

Possibly the drug has an opioid receptor? The druggist can tell you. I

check with them every time I need to know if my meds have one, so that I can

start to use LDN again.

Promethazine is an anti-histamine. It doesn't make much sense that it should

not be used with LDN. It could be contraindicated for use with HDN.

Interestingly it is contraindicated with opiates. I wonder if a common

misunderstanding about naltrexone, that it is an opiate, is at work here causing

the contraindication for use with promethazine.

Incidentally, whoever is suggesting that drugs have receptors - they don't -

they act on receptors that exist in the human body.
