What is REZENOPY?

Understanding REZENOPY™

REZENOPY (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray 10 mg is an FDA-approved medicine designed to reverse the life-threatening effects of an opioid overdose quickly and effectively.

What It Is

REZENOPY is a single-dose nasal spray containing 10 mg of naloxone hydrochloride — the highest FDA-approved dose for a naloxone nasal spray available in the United States. Naloxone is a medicine that can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose.1*

*The clinical significance of a higher dose is currently unknown.

How It Works

Naloxone temporarily blocks the effects of opioids in the brain. When someone is experiencing an overdose, REZENOPY can restore normal breathing and can temporarily restore consciousness. It begins working quickly after administration.

Who It’s For

REZENOPY is indicated for adults and pediatric patients when an opioid overdose is known or suspected.1 It is intended for use in settings where opioids may be present — by bystanders, caregivers, family members, and first responders.

Easy to Use

REZENOPY requires no assembly, no needles, and no special training to use. The device is designed to be used in an emergency by anyone. Family members, caregivers, or other people who may have to use REZENOPY nasal spray in an opioid emergency should know where REZENOPY nasal spray is stored and how to give it before an opioid emergency happens. A Quick Start Guide is available for reference.

How to Use

Using REZENOPY™ in an Emergency

If you think someone is experiencing an opioid overdose, act immediately. REZENOPY is designed to be used right away — no assembly required.

  1. Call 911: Call emergency services immediately. REZENOPY does not replace emergency medical care.
  2. Position the Person: Lay them on their back. Tilt their head back slightly to open the airway.5
  3. Administer REZENOPY: Insert the nozzle into one nostril. Press the plunger firmly to release the full dose.5
  4. Wait & Monitor: Watch for response. If there is no response after 2–3 minutes, an additional dose of naloxone may be given if available and per medical guidance.5
  5. Stay With Them: Do not leave the person alone. Continue to support their airway until emergency services arrive.

Important: 
Naloxone wears off faster than most opioids. Even if the person responds to REZENOPY, they still need immediate emergency medical evaluation. Always wait for emergency responders.
