NALOXONE HCL

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk of Recurrent Respiratory and CNS Depression : Due to the duration of action of naloxone relative to the opioid, keep patient under continued surveillance and administer additional doses of REZENOPY nasal spray, as necessary, using a new nasal spray device while awaiting emergency medical assistance
1 ) Risk of Limited Efficacy with Partial Agonists or Mixed Agonists/Antagonists : Reversal of respiratory depression caused by partial agonists or mixed agonists/antagonists, such as buprenorphine and pentazocine, may be incomplete
3 ) Risk of Cardiovascular (CV) Effects : Abrupt postoperative reversal of opioid depression may result in adverse CV effects
1 Risk of Recurrent Respiratory and Central Nervous System Depression The duration of action of most opioids may exceed that of REZENOPY nasal spray resulting in a return of respiratory and/or central nervous system depression after an initial improvement in symptoms

My name is Adam and I am an addict. It's been three days since I last died.

“Hi. My name is Adam and I am an addict.” The words have no meaning. Not anymore. They’ve been recited too many times. “Hello, Adam,” the chorus responded. Metal folding chairs arranged in the obligatory half-circle. The even-more obligatory stink of burned coffee mingling with stale cigarette smoke
