Nalmefene is an opioid receptor modulator, primarily used to reduce alcohol consumption in adults with alcohol dependence. It acts as an antagonist at the mu and delta opioid receptors and a partial agonist at the kappa opioid receptor. It is approved in several countries (e.g., in the EU) as a prescription medication for the reduction of alcohol consumption in patients with alcohol dependence.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic parameters reported in healthy adult volunteers after single oral administration.
