The FDA has approved the sale, by prescription, of a handheld auto-injector of the opioid-reversal drug naloxone that caregivers or family members can use to avert a potentially fatal overdose. Making this product available for use beyond an ambulance or hospital could save lives by facilitating earlier use of the drug in emergency situations, said Dr. Bob Rappaport, director of the division of anesthesia, analgesia and addiction products at the FDAs Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. emsworld/11375257
