What happens if you are on naltrexone and you get hit by a bus and need surgery.

Is there a problem where the anesthetic won’t work?



There are anesthetics specifically designed to blow through opiate blockers or tolerance. They, coincidentally, are also some of the most dangerous opiods to consume. Fentanyl is an example.

This question is also why it's important to have your prescriptions you're taking up to date with your emergency information / contact.
