RiVive™ OTC (naloxone HCl nasal spray 3 mg) is now available
RiVive™ OTC – Harm Reduction Therapeutics’ new FDA approved over-the-counter emergency treatment for opioid overdose is now available for ordering and shipment.
™RiVive™ is an emergency treatment for opioid overdose
RiVive™ OTC (naloxone HCI nasal spray 3mg) was recently approved by the FDA as an over-the-counter emergency treatment for opioid overdose. It is used to “revive” someone during an overdose from many prescription pain medications or street drugs. This medicine can save a life.
RiVive™ OTC was developed by Harm Reduction Therapeutics, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit pharmaceutical company whose mission is to save lives that will otherwise be lost to opioid overdose. To make a charitable contribution to help us continue our mission, click here.
HOW RIVIVE™ OTC WORKS
Naloxone is the active ingredient in RiVive™ OTC nasal spray. Naloxone quickly reverses an overdose by blocking the effects of opioids. It can restore normal breathing within 2 to 3 minutes in a person whose breath has slowed, or even stopped, as a result of opioid overdose. More than one dose of naloxone may be required when stronger opioids like fentanyl are involved.
Naloxone’s approval in 1971 led to increasingly widespread use as standard equipment in emergency medicine in the 1980s before being distributed by harm reduction in the 1990s as part of their public health initiatives. Intranasal naloxone is a well-established way to provide safe, rapid, and effective reversals of opioid overdoses.
