Educational Risk Minimisation Materials for Prenoxad (naloxone) 1mg/ml Solution for Injection in a pre-filled syringe

The manufacturer has produced materials for healthcare professionals (issuer’s guide and training checklist) discussing what to consider before issuing the medicine, and the risks of treatment. A client’s guide (for people supplied with treatment) is also available.

SPS commentary:

The client’s guide contains information on how to recognise the signs of overdose and how to give the injection. It serves as a reminder about the training that would have been given to either the client and/or representative.
