Hi all,
Please consider signing this petition to urge NYS to introduce RiVive, a 3 mg formulation of intranasal naloxone.
There is no evidence to support high dose naloxone and we know that high naloxone precipitates significantly more acute opioid withdrawal in comparison with 4 mg or 3 mg IN naloxone.
Harm Reduction Therapeutics, the company that manufactures RiVive, is a 501c3 that brought RiVive, the 3mg nasal naloxone, to the market. As a non-profit pharmaceutical company, HRT wants to ensure that people who need naloxone can get it at an affordable price with no mark-up. HRT has partnered with Remedy Alliance to whom they give 10% of all of the RiVive profits to distribute to unfunded programs with no access or budget for naloxone.
Note: I do not work for HRT nor Remedy Alliance and derive no personal benefit from endorsing RiVive. I just support compassionate overdose responses.
