Indications for Naltrexone?

Published

Can anyone here tell me why a teenager with no history of substance abuse of any kind would be prescribed Naltrexone. This is not homework but I recently encountered this situation and when I looked it up in my drug book could not find any uses other than it's uses in treating opioid addiction.

Just asking

Love how you asked this!
