Is Naltrexone A Suggested Medication For Lyme Disease?
Yes, I would like an answer to my question about Lyme Disease. My doctor has given me cefuroxime 500 mg twice a day. Also he has prescribed Naltrexone (which I just found out is a drug for drug addiction and alcoholism.) Can Naltrexone really help with Lymes? Thanks. Waiting for your answer. Barbara

Hello,
Naltrexone has no role in the management of Lyme disease.
I cannot comment why your doctor has prescribed naltrexone as you have not mentioned any other condition, signs or symptoms.
Hope this helps you.
Thank you.
