Naloxone reestablishes normal respiration rates for an individual whose respirations have slowed or stopped due to opioid overdose. All clinicians who work with pain patients must ensure that they know naloxone and how it reverses opioid overdose. Currently there are three major formulations of naloxone. All of the following are formulations EXCEPT:
(a) Prepackaged nasal spray (Narcan)
(b) Auto-injectable, pre-filled injection device (Evzio)
(c) Topical naloxone
(d) Injectable naloxone
