Naltrexone and Pregnancy: What You Need to Know

In making a decision for benefits versus risk, regarding thoughts about methadone while pregnant, Subutex while pregnant or even naltrexone while pregnant, the most important consideration is to keep the mother opioid free throughout and after the pregnancy.
Expecting a baby while managing addiction can be a tough road. In this episode, Dr. Mark Leeds tackles the critical question of whether naltrexone or Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is safe to use during pregnancy. While it's well-known that buprenorphine is generally considered safe for opioid-dependent pregnant women, the jury is still out on naltrexone and LDN. Dr. Leeds breaks down the available research and discusses the pros and cons of various treatment options, including methadone and suboxone, during pregnancy.
He also explores the potential for transitioning to naltrexone treatment and underscores the importance of keeping mothers opioid-free both during and after pregnancy. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating pregnancy while dealing with addiction, offering valuable insights and practical advice to help make informed decisions.
