Description

Naloxone Hydrochloride Injection 0.4 mg/mL, packaged in a carton containing 10 single-dose 1 mL vials, is a critical medication used for the reversal of opioid-induced depression. This includes the complete or partial reversal of respiratory depression caused by both natural and synthetic opioids, such as methadone, and certain mixed agonist-antagonist analgesics like nalbuphine, pentazocine, butorphanol, and cyclazocine.

The solution is a sterile, preservative-free, single-dose injection intended for immediate administration in emergency situations. Naloxone works by competitively binding to opioid receptors in the brain, reversing the effects of opioid toxicity, including respiratory depression, sedation, and hypotension. Its rapid onset of action makes it an essential tool in emergency overdose management.

The product is stored at a temperature range of 20° to 25°C (68° to 77°F) and should be protected from light by keeping it in its carton until ready for use. Naloxone injection contains no bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agents, ensuring that each dose is free from preservatives, which is why it is supplied as a single-use vial.
