(Approval lapsed) NYXOID naloxone 1.8mg nasal spray solution in a single-dose container (UK)
Nyxoid is intended as part of the emergency treatment for known or suspected opioid overdose as manifested by respiratory and/or central nervous system depression in:
- the home or other non-medical setting
- a health facility setting
For this reason, Nyxoid should be carried by persons at risk of, or likely to witness such events.
Nyxoid is indicated in adults and adolescents aged 14 years and over.
Note that in the Australian registered product, the active ingredient is expressed as naloxone hydrochloride dihydrate, while in the section 19A approved product from the UK, it is expressed as naloxone base. However, both products deliver the same dose using the same device.
