Custom Compounded Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) – Mixwell Compounding Pharmacy
Mixwell Compounding Pharmacy in Chino, CA prepares custom low dose naltrexone (LDN) formulations based on individual prescriptions from licensed physicians. Each preparation is compounded to the exact strength specified on your prescription.
What Is Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)?
Naltrexone is an FDA-approved medication used at standard doses for certain conditions. When prescribed at significantly lower doses — typically ranging from 1.5mg to 4.5mg — it is referred to as low dose naltrexone or LDN. These lower doses are not commercially available as a manufactured product, which is why compounding pharmacies like Mixwell are often the dispensing source when a physician prescribes LDN.
LDN requires a valid prescription from a licensed physician. Your doctor determines whether LDN is appropriate for your individual situation and what dose is right for you.
Why LDN Requires Compounding
Commercial naltrexone tablets are manufactured at 50mg — a dose used for different clinical purposes. When a physician prescribes LDN at doses between 1.5mg and 4.5mg, those strengths are not available in any FDA-approved commercial product. Compounding is the only way to obtain these prescribed doses accurately and in an appropriate dosage form.
Available Compounded LDN Dosage Forms
Depending on your prescription, compounded LDN may be prepared in several forms:
- Oral capsules – the most commonly prescribed form
- Oral liquid suspension – useful for patients who cannot swallow capsules or require precise dose titration
- Topical cream – occasionally prescribed when oral administration is not preferred
Your physician specifies the dosage form and strength. Mixwell compounds exactly what is prescribed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a prescription for compounded LDN?
Yes. Naltrexone is a prescription medication at all doses. A valid prescription from a licensed prescriber is required before we can compound or dispense LDN.
Why can't I get LDN at a regular pharmacy?
Standard retail pharmacies stock commercial naltrexone at 50mg. The lower doses used in LDN therapy are not commercially manufactured, so a compounding pharmacy is required to prepare them.
Does Mixwell accept insurance?
Mixwell Compounding Pharmacy does not accept insurance. Call (909) 378-7301 for current pricing information.
How long does compounding take?
Most LDN formulations are ready within 1–3 business days. Call us for current turnaround times.
Can LDN be compounded without fillers or allergens?
Patients with sensitivities to common fillers, dyes, or preservatives may request allergen-free capsule formulations. Ask our pharmacist about available options during your consultation.
What strength of LDN can Mixwell compound?
We compound LDN to the exact strength specified on your prescription. Your physician determines the appropriate dose for your individual needs.
Is LDN the same as standard naltrexone?
LDN uses the same active ingredient as standard naltrexone but at a much lower dose. The clinical applications at low doses are determined by your prescribing physician and are distinct from those of the full 50mg dose.
