HCPlive (1/17, Pine ) reports the FDA “has extended the shelf-life of 4 mg naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray (Narcan) for nonprescription, over-the-counter (OTC) use from 3 years to 4 years.”
The new “approval only applies to nasal spray products produced” after Wednesday. According to HCPlive, “the shelf-life of products produced and distributed prior to the announcement have not been affected; therefore prescribers, patients, and caregivers should continue to adhere to the expiration date printed on the product’s packaging and labeling.”
