Norway pilots homegrown naloxone nasal spray

摘要

RESEARCHERS in Norway have developed a new naloxone nasal spray that could soon be given to drug users in the cities of Bergen and Oslo in a bid to reduce the harm and deaths from heroin overdoses. Development of the spray formulation of the opiate antidote has been led primarily by Ola Dale, professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, explained Philipp Paul Lobmaier, a researcher at the Norwegian Centre for Addiction Research at the University of Oslo, who is leading the "bystander administration" part of the project.
