Hi,
-
I'm Allyson,
-
a pharmacist,
-
and today I'd like to go over how to use your naloxone product.
-
It can be really difficult in an emergency situation
-
to remember everything that you may have learned about naloxone.
-
So, feel free to come back to this video from time-to-time
-
to review the information here
-
so that you can always be prepared in the event that you witness an opioid overdose.
-
So, you've called 911 and grabbed your naloxone.
-
Now what?
-
Evzio is injectable naloxone
-
that comes in a box similar to this,
-
and each box contains 2 doses of active drug and 1 training device.
-
Today, I'll be using the training device to show you how it works.
-
And I highly recommend when you get your box of Evzio to open it up,
-
take out that trainer and give it a try.
-
That way you can see what it sounds like,
-
see what it feels like,
-
and you can always be prepared in an opioid overdose situation.
-
So, the trainer.
-
It's a white cartridge,
-
you remove it from the case and it starts speaking to you.
-
This trainer contains no needle or drug.
-
If
-
you are ready to use,
-
pull off red safety guard.
-
To inject,
-
place black end against outer thigh,
-
then press firmly and hold in place for 5 seconds.
-
5-4-3-2-1.
-
Injection complete.
-
And as you can see,
-
it does a great job walking you through how to give a dose of naloxone,
-
so all the work is done for you.
-
And that is Evzio. (MUSIC)
