At Cohen Tenoudji Pharmacy, we are committed to offering advanced, personalized solutions to help support our patients’ health and wellness. One of the innovative therapies we offer through compounding is Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN).
Naltrexone has been traditionally used at higher doses for decades, but in much smaller amounts, known as low dose naltrexone, it has gained attention for its potential role in supporting immune function and overall well-being. Because LDN is not available in these low doses as a standard commercial medication, compounding pharmacies play a vital role in making it accessible to patients.
Low dose naltrexone typically refers to doses ranging from 0.5 mg to 4.5 mg per day, much lower than those used for its original indications. Researchers and healthcare providers have been exploring its potential uses in various conditions, particularly those involving the immune system and chronic inflammation.
Since commercially available tablets are only made in much higher strengths, compounding is often necessary to prepare LDN in accurate, individualized doses tailored to each patient’s needs.
At Cohen Tenoudji Pharmacy, we work closely with healthcare providers to prepare customized LDN formulations in a variety of forms, including:
Our compounding pharmacists follow precise preparation standards and use high-quality ingredients to ensure patients receive consistent, reliable medications. We are always available to answer questions and help patients understand their medications and dosing.

Doctors worldwide have reported highly positive outcomes in patients treated with LDN for various medical conditions. Some of the most commonly treated conditions include pain and various autoimmune disorders (ex., Hashimoto’s), just to name a few.
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) refers to the use of naltrexone in much smaller amounts—typically between 0.5 mg and 4.5 mg per day—compared to the higher doses traditionally used for other medical purposes. It is being studied for its potential role in supporting immune balance and wellness.
Commercially manufactured naltrexone products are only available in much higher doses (usually 50 mg tablets). Compounding pharmacies like Cohen Tenoudji Pharmacy can prepare LDN in precise, lower doses and in various forms to meet individual patient needs.
We can compound LDN into several patient-friendly forms, including capsules, oral suspensions, and sublingual tablets or lozenges. We work closely with your healthcare provider to select the best option for your needs.
Yes, a prescription from your healthcare provider is required for compounded LDN. We are happy to work with your provider to prepare your customized medication once a prescription is provided.
Your healthcare provider will provide guidance on how to take LDN, including when and how often to take it. Our pharmacists are also available to review instructions with you, explain how to use your compounded medication, and answer any questions you may have.
