Information
PRENOXAD is a pre-filled syringe containing naloxone hydrochloride, a medication designed for emergency use to reverse the effects of opioid overdose. It is intended for intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous administration, making it versatile for different emergency scenarios. Naloxone works by quickly binding to opioid receptors in the brain, displacing opioids and reversing their effects, including respiratory depression, which is a common cause of death in opioid overdoses. PRENOXAD is designed for use by healthcare professionals, first responders, and in some regions, it is available for non-medical personnel after proper training, aiming to provide an immediate response to potentially life-threatening situations. Its accessibility and ease of use make it a critical tool in combating the ongoing opioid crisis by saving lives in the crucial moments following an overdose.
