Naltrexone is a long acting opiate antagonist that has been shown to be efficacious as a pharmacologic adjunct in the treatment of detoxified opiate addicts. Prior to its approval for this indication in 1984 by the Food and Drug Administration, U.S.A., naltrexone was extensively tested over an 8-yr period in more than 2,000 intravenous abusers of opioids. Based on these trials, the medication was considered medically safe (Pfohl, Allen, Atkinson, Knopman, Malcolm, Mitchell & Morley, 1986). Thus, the phrase in the title, “potential toxicity,” may seem overly alarming in describing this medication. Not only have a large number of patients, with a good reason to have liver-problems, been safely treated with naltrexone over relatively prolonged intervals; but in normals, naltrexone is generally devoid of problematic side-effects.
