Q

Naloxone

A

Narcan (NASAL SPRAY)
Evzio (AUTO-INJECTOR)

Opioid Reversal

Opioid Antagonist

Blocks opioids at receptor sites

Opioid overdose; reversal of respiratory depression with therapeutic opioid doses,

opioid withdrawal, anxiety, restlessness, muscle aches, inability to sleep, sweating, ANGER

Opioids

Buddy system (family and friends need to be trained in how to properly administer), opiate withdrawal

o Patient Counseling
 Initial dose is 2 mg; may repeat every 2-3 minutes as need
• Maximum dose is 10 mg
 Immediate treatment is needed when naloxone is administered due to potential for opiate withdrawal and short duration of action

• Candidates for naloxone are those who:
o Take high doses of opioids for long-term pain (> 50mg morphine equivalents)
o Receive rotating opioid medication regimens
o Have been discharged from emergency medical care following opioid poisoning or intoxication
o Take certain extended-release or long-acting opioid medications

A

Suboxone

SL tablet and film

 DEA number starts with an X

Opioid Addiction

Opioid Analgesic/Opioid Antagonist Combinaiton

B: works as an opioid at some sites, displaces at other; N: blocks opioids

Opioid dependence
drowsiness, dizziness, CNS depression, HA, withdrawal syndrome, pain Film: gum/mouth irritation

SSRIs, opioids

o Patient Counseling
 Place the film or tablet under the tongue until it dissolves completely
 Do not swallow
 Additional film should be administered one at a time, on the opposite side of the tongue
 If multiple tablets are required, they can be administered at the same time
