SPECIAL REPORT

Pharmacy professor develops naloxone nasal spray

A pharmacy professor from the University of Kentucky has developed a quicker, easier way to deliver naloxone via a nasal spray, and his invention is being fast-tracked by the Food and Drug Administration, according to a report in the Lexington Herald-Leader.  Professor Daniel Wermeling’s invention is in the final round of clinical trials and could be available as early as next year.

"The goal is to make the medication available to patients at high risk of opioid overdose and to caregivers, including family members, who may lack specialized medical training."
Daniel Wermeling
