If you notice an improperly formatted reply, kindly message the poster and gently remind them it needs to comport with the Naltrexone example below. It is simple and keeps things traversable and useful, thanks 🙏

Either can prescribe it. Depends on the person’s situation- other symptoms, severity, etc.
