Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Lozenges & Troches
A versatile and patient-friendly formulation of Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN), designed to dissolve in the mouth for sublingual or buccal absorption. LDN lozenges and troches offer customizable dosing, enhanced bioavailability, and a discreet option for managing autoimmune, inflammatory, and chronic conditions.
Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Lozenges & Troches
LDN lozenges and troches are patient-friendly dosage forms that dissolve in the mouth, offering sublingual or buccal absorption. This allows the medication to bypass the digestive system, ensuring quicker and more consistent absorption compared to capsules or tablets.
Lozenges are designed to dissolve slowly between the gum and cheek, providing steady absorption. Troches dissolve faster, typically placed under the tongue, for a more rapid onset of action.
At Rock Ridge Pharmacy, we custom-compound lozenges and troches in strengths tailored to your provider’s prescription — ensuring accurate dosing, enhanced bioavailability, and a discreet, portable option for managing chronic and autoimmune conditions.

Is Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Right for You?
Key considerations when evaluating whether LDN therapy may support your health needs.
Assess Your Condition
LDN is commonly used off-label for autoimmune conditions (MS, Crohn’s, Hashimoto's), chronic pain (fibromyalgia), and neurological disorders (Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s). If you live with one of these, LDN may be worth exploring.
Consider Individual Variability
The effectiveness of LDN differs for each person. Factors such as overall health, severity of condition, and prior treatment responses influence results.
Monitor & Adjust Your Dose
LDN is usually started at 1.5 mg daily and increased gradually. Tracking symptoms and side effects helps find the optimal dose tailored to you.
Feedback & Risks
Stay in close contact with your healthcare provider to adjust treatment and monitor side effects. LDN is generally well-tolerated, with minor effects like vivid dreams or headaches balanced against potential benefits.
