One Little Pill

One Little Pill is a documentary film about the use of generic medications (primarily naltrexone, but also nalmefene) for treating and curing alcoholism.

It was produced by Zard Productions as a film project for the C Three Foundation and released on Vimeo and VHX for on-demand viewing in October 2014.

In 2013/4 the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) approved nalmefene for use as part of the NHS National Services Scotland.
