RegisterUse of Naltrexone prior to Naloxone dosing [Design Issues]
Hi,
Yes. If I stand correct it's because naloxone is a weaker antagonist therefore if you give it with an opiate then you will still see withdrawal symptoms. That's why you give naltrexone before hand to prevent withdraws since it's a stronger anatagonist (and longer duration of action). Naloxone alone will not cause withdrawal symptoms.
