Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this program, from prescriptions to delivery. Still unsure? Our medical team is always happy to help.

Naltrexone is an established medicine traditionally used at higher doses. At very low doses (around 1.5–4.5mg), it is prescribed off-label to gently modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation. This off-label use is well-documented and increasingly recommended for conditions like Long COVID, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and autoimmune support.

Yes — LDN is a prescription medication, but we make the process simple. After placing your request, you complete a quick online medical assessment and one of our registered doctors will reach out for a short consult. If LDN is right for you, a prescription is issued and your treatment is prepared, all handled securely online.

Most patients begin with a low starting dose of around 1.5mg per day, which is then gradually titrated upward over several weeks based on how you respond. This slow, steady approach helps your body adjust comfortably and minimises any initial side effects. Your doctor will guide you on the right pace and target dose for you.

LDN is generally very well tolerated. Side effects are mild and uncommon, and usually settle within the first week or two as your body adjusts. The most frequently reported are vivid dreams or lighter sleep and occasionally mild nausea early on. Starting low and titrating slowly keeps these to a minimum, and your doctor is always available if you have concerns.

Everyone responds differently, but most patients begin to notice meaningful improvements in energy, sleep, pain and brain fog within 4 to 8 weeks. Because LDN works gradually by calming inflammation, consistency is key — sticking with your titration schedule gives it the best chance to work. Some people feel subtle changes even sooner.

Once approved, your LDN is carefully compounded and dispensed by a registered pharmacist to the exact strength prescribed for you. It is then delivered discreetly to your chosen address within 2 to 3 working days, in plain, unbranded packaging to protect your privacy. No pharmacy queues, no awkward conversations — just reliable, confidential care.
