IVITROL IS AN OPIOID ANTAGONIST OR BLOCKING MEDICATION1-3

Antagonists create a barrier that blocks opioid molecules from attaching to opioid receptors. Antagonists attach to opioid receptors, but do not cause the release of dopamine. They are non-addictive and do not lead to physical dependence. VIVITROL blocks opioid receptors for one month at a time. Patients must be opioid-free before starting VIVITROL.

See Important Safety Information below. Discuss all benefits and risks with a healthcare provider.
