CML patient having alcoholic addiction

2026-03-10 13:20:40
I have been a CML patient since 2016 and have had undetectable reports since 2023. Since last year due to family and personal issues. I became alcohol sober and can't skip any day. I was told by a doctor friend that Neltrexone 50mg will help me to stop alcohol. But I am afraid whether it will interact with my CML medicine. Please advise I am living a very bad life. Please help me answer.
