Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence has plans to update is guidance on Naltrexone and opioid antagonists as a treatment for addiction.

Answer

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) reviewed the evidence on naltrexone for the management of opioid dependence in November 2010 and found nothing new that affects the recommendations in this guidance. In line with NICE’s published procedures, this guidance will be considered for review again if there is new evidence that is likely to change the recommendations.
