Naloxone HCl for Injection 1 mg/mL Prefilled Syringe 2 mL 10 Per Box by Dr Reddys (RX)

Check Responsiveness: If someone is unresponsive and you suspect opioid overdose, call 911 immediately. Prepare Syringe: Remove the cap, attach needle (if not pre-attached), and hold the syringe like a pen. Administer Injecton: Insert the needle into the upper thigh muscle at a 90-degree angle and press the plunger fully to deliver the entire dose. Monitor & Repeat: If there is no response in 2-3 minutes, administer an additional dose with a new syringe.

Always call emergency services even after administration. Monitor recipient continuously for signs of distress or recurrent overdose symptoms. Be prepared for potential withdrawal symptoms: agitation, nausea, vomiting. Use with caution in individuals with known hypersensitivity to naloxone or its components.

Naloxone prefilled syringes do not require refrigeration but should be stored at controlled room temperature (68°F to 77°F, 20°C to 25°C). Keep away from excessive heat or freezing. Temperature fluctuations can affect the potency, so store in a secure, stable environment.

Each naloxone prefilled syringe contains a single dose (typically 2mg/2mL for intramuscular injection). Multiple syringes may be needed if there is no response after the first administration.

Intramuscular Injection (IM) – most common with prefilled syringes Intranasal Spray Intravenous Injection (IV) (healthcare setting) Subcutaneous Injection

Each syringe contains 2mg naloxone hydrochloride in 2mL solution, providing a consistent, ready-to-use dose for effective opioid overdose reversal.

Naloxone usually works within 2 to 5 minutes after intramuscular injection. If there is no improvement, repeat dosing according to emergency protocols.

Known hypersensitivity to naloxone or any component of the formulation. Use caution in newborns of opioid-dependent mothers due to potential withdrawal risk.

Identify opioid overdose symptoms. Administer naloxone prefilled syringe intramuscularly. Call emergency services. Monitor and repeat dosing every 2-3 minutes if necessary. Support respiration if needed (CPR).

Monitor breathing and consciousness until emergency medical help arrives. Naloxone wears off faster than some opioids, so recurring overdose symptoms are possible. Never leave the person alone.

Naloxone injections are typically stable for 18-24 months when stored properly. Always check the expiry date before use.

Yes. Excessive heat or freezing can degrade naloxone. Always store naloxone prefilled syringes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.

Naloxone is the generic drug; Narcan is a brand name. Both contain the same active ingredient (naloxone hydrochloride) but may differ in delivery method (syringe vs. nasal spray).
