Naltrexone has been developed to block the euphoria by preferentially binding to the same receptors in the brain as the opioid agonist and thereby reducing the incentive for abuse or misuse by recreational drug abusers.

When the product is taken as intended, the naltrexone will pass through the body unreleased and the opioid agonist releases over time providing therapeutic pain relief for which it is prescribed.

The opioid antagonist will be released, when the multi-particulate beads are crushed or dissolved, said the company.
