NARCAN® Nasal Spray

Aptar Pharma played a pivotal role in developing a nasal spray delivery system for NARCAN®, an antidote for opioid overdose that can easily be administered quickly by anyone, anywhere. Using Aptar's Unidose nasal spray system, first responders can administer the life-saving treatment rather than going through the lengthy multi-step process of fiddling with a syringe and a needle. This product is the first U.S. FDA-approved nasally administered, needle-free, ready-to-use medication that can stop or reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.
