does anyone have info regarding alcoholic alkermes shot?

Question:

Answers:
Alkermes is the name of the company that makes it. I think it is the drug Naltrexone that you are talking about.

Other Answers:
Like the first user said, Alkermes is actually the company creating the drug. The actual drug has a brand name of "Vivitrex," and studies from the company have shown that "patients treated with once-monthly injections of Vivitrex, in combination with psychosocial therapy, experienced a 50 percent reduction in heavy drinking days compared to patients receiving placebo injections in combination with psychosocial therapy." Vivitrex is a long-acting, injectable form of naltrexone.
