Opioid Overdose: Intramuscular Naloxone Linked to Better Prehospital Outcomes Than Intranasal Naloxone
In a study of adults treated by emergency medical services (EMS) following 9-1-1 calls, intramuscular (IM) naloxone administration was associated with lower odds of repeat naloxone dosing and faster recovery of mental status and respiratory function than intranasal (IN) naloxone administration, without an observed increase in precipitated withdrawal symptoms.
