Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition characterised by widespread pain throughout the body, often felt in muscles and joints. Symptoms can come and go, and the condition usually appears between the ages of 20 and 60.

Low Dose Naltrexone Capsules
1.5mg
Naltrexone capsules for fibromyalgia and fatigue in multiple sclerosis. This low dose is far below the addiction-treatment amount.
Key points
- Fibromyalgia affects about 2 in every 100 people and is more common in females than males.
- Alongside the pain, people often experience fatigue, sleep difficulty, and problems with concentration.
- There is no cure, but a combination of lifestyle changes, talking therapies, and medicine can help relieve symptoms.
Medicines listed for Fibromyalgia
The listed products for fibromyalgia contain duloxetine, pregabalin, and naltrexone, all in capsule form. Duloxetine is an antidepressant that also acts on pain signalling in the central nervous system. Pregabalin calms overactive nerve signals and is used for nerve-related pain. Low dose naltrexone sits in the pain and anti-inflammatory category and is listed here for widespread pain. Together, these three ingredients represent different approaches to the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
