On this installment of The Medicine Cabinet series, I tackle the use of Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) to treat Long Covid symptoms. Naltrexone is a fascinating drug that works one way at high doses and another way at low doses. In low doses, it can be a potent anti-inflammatory, and it may help reverse autoimmune conditions.
There's a lot more to it. I explain how LDN works, who should consider it, and obstacles to access. I also share practical tips to dosing that will help you avoid, or at least understand, side effects.
