Naltrexone in Singapore
Contrave is listed; standalone naltrexone needs a local check. Singapore's National Drug Formulary confirms the naltrexone-bupropion product Contrave. Our July 2026 review did not find equally clear evidence of a currently marketed standalone 50 mg product for alcohol or opioid treatment.
The name on the record changes the answer
Singapore’s National Drug Formulary lists Contrave prolonged-release tablets under licence SIN16411P. A Singapore telehealth provider also advertises that product. Contrave contains 8 mg naltrexone plus 90 mg bupropion per tablet and is for chronic weight management—not addiction treatment.
HealthHub publishes general naltrexone medicine information, but a patient-information page alone does not prove that standalone 50 mg tablets are currently registered, stocked, subsidised, or available at a stated price. We could not substantiate the previous SGD 200–500 monthly tablet estimate or claims about Vivitrol supply.
For alcohol or opioid dependence, ask a clinician or pharmacy to identify the exact product and strength they can supply. Do not treat Contrave as a substitute for addiction-treatment naltrexone.
How to verify access in Singapore
Separate clinical assessment from product and price verification.
- Start with NAMS or a clinician. The National Addictions Management Service is the specialist public service for addiction assessment. A clinician can decide whether naltrexone is suitable and what monitoring is needed.
- Ask for the exact product. Confirm brand, strength, intended indication, registration or special-access basis, and whether the dispensing pharmacy currently has stock.
- Request a current quote. Singapore restricts public advertising of prescription-medicine prices. Obtain the consultation, medicine, laboratory, and follow-up costs directly before starting.

Singapore-specific questions
Is Contrave the same as standalone naltrexone?
No. Contrave combines 8 mg naltrexone with 90 mg bupropion per tablet for weight management. It must not be substituted for the standalone formulation used in addiction treatment.
Does HealthHub prove that 50 mg naltrexone is currently available?
No. HealthHub provides medicine information, but that alone does not establish a currently marketed product, pharmacy stock, subsidy, or price.
Where can I ask about addiction treatment?
NAMS at the Institute of Mental Health provides specialist addiction services. A clinician can assess suitability; a pharmacy must separately confirm the exact product and current stock.
How much does standalone naltrexone cost?
We did not verify a reliable public current price. Request an itemised quote for the medicine, consultation, laboratory tests, and follow-up care.
Check the formulation before paying for a consultation
The official Contrave record is useful, but it does not answer a standalone naltrexone question. Use the detailed registry guide to prepare the exact wording.
