'In a lot of ways, naloxone is a Band-Aid.'
A couple of weeks back, when the Food and Drug Administration decided to make a nasal spray that has the power to reverse an overdose available over the counter, Nancy Campbell thought about her own supply of this drug. It’s called Narcan. She keeps it on her pretty much all the time.of science and technology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York. She studies drug use and abuse. She says that she can’t quite tell how big of a deal this Narcan news is going to be.
Mary Harris: Narcan is the brand name for the nasal spray version of naloxone, which is a drug that can reverse overdoses, right?Yes. Naloxone was synthesized in 1960. It was FDA approved for opioid overdose reversal in 1971. And it’s been available since then, largely within emergency medicine. You would find naloxone on your basic life-support trucks.Everyone’s brain has opioid receptors in it.
The Nalline programs were used to fight particular opioid epidemics in, say, East L.A. or Northern California. And what that meant was that people came in to the police precinct for this kind of early version of drug testing. This was before there was urine-based drug testing. The police would indeed administer nalorphine and make sure that people were not using opioids. The problem, of course, is that people mightusing opioids, and in that case they would feel extremely ill.
