Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Opioid antagonists like naloxone and naltrexone are mainly used for preventing relapse in recovering opiate addicts and blocking acute opiate overdoses. They work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, blocking the effects of opioids and reducing the craving for them. There is currently no evidence to support their use in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease symptoms.
