Why LDN is compounded
Naltrexone is commercially available only as 50 mg tablets (and as a monthly injection). Low doses of 0.5–4.5 mg require a compounding pharmacy to make capsules or a liquid. Some patients dissolve 50 mg tablets in water to make a liquid at home, which is cheaper but less precise — only do this under a prescriber's guidance.
Consultation costs
Many telehealth LDN providers charge an initial consult fee and then a lower ongoing monthly rate. Because LDN is off-label, the prescriber's willingness to prescribe and titrate it is a large part of what you are paying for.
How to Pay Less for Low-dose naltrexone (LDN)

- ✓Compare compounding pharmacy prices directly; the telehealth program's pharmacy may not be the cheapest.
- ✓If your regular doctor will prescribe LDN, you may not need a separate telehealth membership.
Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) Cost — Frequently Asked Questions
Does insurance cover low-dose naltrexone?

Naltrexone is an old generic drug, and the doses used are tiny. The compounding step adds cost, but the raw medication is inexpensive.
What does LDN cost per year?

Roughly $400–1,200 per year through a telehealth program, or less if a local doctor prescribes it and you use a compounding pharmacy directly.
