How Does it Work

This unique blend is designed to target and alleviate symptoms such as inflammation and itching, commonly associated with skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis.

Naltrexone hydrochloride, an opioid antagonist, works by blocking the effects of opioids on the body. This action helps to reduce inflammation, a common symptom of many skin conditions.

This mechanism aids in reducing itching, another prevalent symptom of skin disorders.

The Naltrexone HCl 1%/Doxepin HCl 0.5% Topical Cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, which allows for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This ensures that the active ingredients are localized to the area of treatment, maximizing their effectiveness.
