Etymology
Naltrexone is a modern drug name made like other opioid blockers: the nal- part is the same as in naloxone, a medicine that also 'blocks' opioids, and the -trexone part echoes the opiate names it affects. So, a helpful way to remember naltrexone is that its name links it to drugs that 'block' opiates and are used to treat addiction.
