What the Health Canada label says it is for
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE REVIA (naltrexone hydrochloride) is indicated to provide blockade of the pharmacologic effects of exogenously administered opioids as an adjunct to the maintenance of the opioid-free state in detoxified, formerly opioid-dependent individuals. There are no data that demonstrate an unequivocally beneficial effect of REVIA on the rates of recidivism among detoxified formerly opioid-dependent individuals, who self administer the drug. REVIA is expected to have a therapeutic effect only when given under conditions that support continued use of the medication. REVIA is indicated in the treatment of alcohol dependence, as a component of a comprehensive psychotherapeutic or psychological alcoholism counselling program to support abstinence, and reduce the risk of relapse. The efficacy of REVIA beyond twelve weeks of treatment has not been established. https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00060340.PDF PM date: July 16, 2020 Source product: REVIA; DIN 02213826; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.
