Before using Naloxone, emergency medical assistance should be requested by calling 9-1-1. Naloxone should not be used as a substitute for professional medical care.
Naloxone may be given by intravenous injection (into a vein), intramuscular injection (into a muscle), or subcutaneous injection (under the skin). The intravenous route is only recommended in emergency situations when a health care professional is present. The intramuscular route is recommended for use by caregivers or bystanders. Intramuscular injections may be given into the outer arm, upper thigh, or upper part of the buttocks.
The starting dose for children less than 1 year of age is 0.4 mg.
The usual starting dose of naloxone for people 1 year of age and older, is 0.4 mg to 2 mg. A dose of 0.4 mg may be repeated every 2 to 3 minutes as needed until the desired degree of reversal of symptoms is achieved. The protective effects of naloxone last for 30 to 90 minutes. Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.
Store Naloxone at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
