Drug Uses
Reviа is used for treating alcoholism and narcotic (opioid) addiction in adults, as part of a complete treatment program. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
How to use
Use Reviа as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
Take Reviа by mouth with or without food.
Reviа should not be taken until the nаltrexone challenge test is negative.
Before taking Reviа , you must be willing to take Reviа to help with alcohol dependence, you must be free of substance abuse for 7 to 10 days, you must not have any severe or active liver or kidney problems, and you must not have any other medical problems or conditions that make taking Reviа inadvisable.
Drug Class and Mechanism

Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of Reviа, skip the missed dose. Go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Storage
Store Reviа at 77 degrees F (25 degrees C). Brief storage between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C) is permitted. Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep Reviа out of the reach of children and away from pets.
