It took about 3-4 days for the Naltrexone to wear off before the pain medication worked properly. This is longer than I expected. |
I don't have any experience with your med, but LOTS with narcan. I administered it IV to patients in the field for years and nothing happened--it was a matter of protocol. Then one night I unknowingly gave it to a severely narcotic addicted patient. VERY UGLY! I got a hold of an ER doctor who ordered Fentanyl to stop the poor guy's withdrawal until we could get him to the hospital.
