Naltrexone Safety Note: Dosage Error

A typographical error in the October 1987 AmFAR Directory of Experimental Treatments for AIDS and ARC caused the recommended dose of naltrexone to be listed erroneously as "1.75 mg/kg". The intended dose was 1.75 mg per day. The erroneous dose was over 50 times too large and is potentially harmful.
A photocopy of the section containing the error also went out (together with correct information) with material from
Project Inform.
Meanwhile Bernard Bihari M.D., the developer of the naltrexone AIDS/ARC treatment, has increased the recommended dose from 1.75 mg per day to 2.75 mg per day.
