I've heard people talk about 'boosters' on here. What does that mean and why take a 'booster'?

A booster is another, usually smaller dose of naltrexone taken after an initial dose. Typically it's 25 mg taken 4 hours after a 50 mg tablet. People do it when a drinking session continues for several hours (e.g. at an all-day concert) and want to remain protected.

Eskapa claims that a single 50 mg dose covers most people for 24 hours, but some people have found that they need a booster. I know that for me taking 50 mg in the morning is effective all day, but your mileage may vary.

Thanks, Magda! I haven't had any need for a booster yet, but it's good to know and I'll carry an extra 25mg in my pill necklace just in case.

I used a booster on weekends when I first started. I would take 50mg before lunch, and then a 25mg booster before dinner. Don't know if the booster made a difference, but NAL sure did!
