I have been given a prescription by my doctor for LDN

 

Customer Question

I have been given a prescription by my doctor for LDN (low dose naltroxin) 3-4mg. The pharmacies in South Africa seem to be unable to find this medicine. One said it was for veterinary use only... I will be taking this for rheumatoid arthritis pain control. Do you have any resources for either online orders that ship to South Africa or local pharmaceutical providers or a compound pharmacist that may be able to provide 4mg from 50mg "Revia"?
