Naltrexone and kleptomania

Naltrexone is used to treat people with alcohol and drugs problems but it could also help people with kleptomania as well. Researchers at the University of Minnesota tested it for two months on 25 people who said they spent at least one hour a week stealing. Those who took naltrexone reported significantly less stealing behaviour compared to those given a placebo.

Naltrexone is used to treat people with alcohol and drugs problems while Levitra is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It helps increase blood flow to the penis, so it may help men with ED get and keep an erection that lasts long .
