Who makes narcan?

Have you ever wondered who makes narcan? The life-saving drug that can rapidly reverse an opioid overdose. Well, look no further because in this article we will explore the world of narcan and its manufacturers.

What is Narcan?

Narcan, also known as naloxone hydrochloride or simply naloxone, is a medication used to rapidly reverse an opioid overdose. It works by blocking the effects of opioids in the body, thereby reversing respiratory depression caused by opioids.

A Brief History of Narcan

Before we dive into who makes narcan, let’s take a quick look at how it came to be. 

In 1961, Jack Fishman discovered naloxone while researching potential analgesics derived from morphine. In 1963, he described its structure and properties to the scientific community for potential use as an antidote to opioid poisoning.

However, it wasn’t until much later that naloxone was first approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for emergency treatment of suspected or confirmed opioid overdose in a clinical setting. Today, multiple companies have received FDA approval for their own versions of naloxone products under different brand names such as Narcan®, Evzio®, and Naloxzone Hydrochloride Injection®.

So let’s get down to business – who actually manufactures these products?

Adapt Pharma Inc.

Adapt Pharma Inc., owned by Emergent Biosolutions since October 2018 produces nasal spray similar version called ‘NARCAN® Nasal Spray’ which can be easily administered with no medical training necessary making it ideal for both home users like families with opiod addicts or friends clubbed together so they can always have some around just incase they need them expecting these types emergencies when partying on weekends but also members police forces across US Adapters never tire marketing itself not just another pharmaceutical manufacturing company yet it has products like ‘NARCAN™ Nasal Spray’ that they consider revolutionary.

Kaléo, Inc.

Kaléo Inc., a Virginia-based pharmaceutical manufacturer creates two different naloxone delivery devices: the EVZIO® Auto-Injector for intramuscular injection and the Auvi-Q® epinephrine auto-injector. It’s funny how those who create drugs to cure poison also manufacture antidotes against them isn’t it?

Their website publicly displays their goal which is to “provide innovative solutions and programs that empower healthcare providers and communities they serve” with taglines such as “our mission in life is saving lives”, suggesting their strong drive towards supporting people across America recover from drug overdose by solving problems faced through designing ground-breaking medicines used in diverse communities.

Mylan

Amongst all the companies mentioned here, you’d think this article would be some sort of conspiracy theory for claiming everyone apart from Mylan make Narcan but it’s somewhat true though …not totally crazy of idea. Mylan manufacture a generic version naloxone hydrochloride by the name ‘Naloxone Hydrochloride Injection USP, 1 mg/mL available in two different package sizes: one with 10 vials and another containing only one.

The company is quite popular for producing around eighty-eight non-generic versions of well-known products one would tend to see marketed online medicine counters or over pharmaceutical chain stores shelves down store aisles cleverly crafted promotions flashed promo screen selling point assets digital marketing campaigns is renowned product line thus claiming they’re more human than the rest; putting quality care back on pharmacy events calendar above all else giving them halo effect vs their competitors despite being no different so it seems just smoke mirrors …
