About NALOXONE HCL

Naloxone HCL is a medication aligned to the HCPCS J Code: J2310 for billing, pricing, and reimbursement purposes in the United States. This Anti-Addiction medication is administered via the intramuscular, intravenous, parenteral, or subcutaneous routes and manufactured by multiple companies.

According to CMS Drug Use Information: Naloxone is used for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose. Serious opioid overdose symptoms may include unusual sleepiness, unusual difficulty waking up, or breathing problems (ranging from slow/shallow breathing to no breathing). Other symptoms of overdose may include very small "pinpoint" pupils, slow heartbeat, or low blood pressure. If someone has serious overdose symptoms but you are not sure if the symptoms are due to opioid overdose, give naloxone right away anyway, since lasting slow/shallow breathing may cause permanent damage to the brain or death. Since symptoms of opioid overdose may return after treatment, be sure to get medical help right away after giving the first dose of naloxone. Naloxone belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid antagonists. It works by blocking the effects of the opioid in the brain.
