Hikma marks two-year anniversary of KLOXXADO® launch by surpassing 375,000 doses donated in the US

• Donating 50,000 vials of injectable naloxone in 2021 to members of the Opioid Safety and Naloxone Network Buyers Club (now called Remedy Alliance/For The People) to help ease a shortage of the medicine facing non-profit harm reduction programs in the US.
  
  
• Furthering its partnership with Remedy Alliance through a first-of-its-kind agreement for Hikma to provide a private label, discounted naloxone injectable medicine specifically for the harm reduction community. As covered in The Washington Post, this partnership ensures supply and price are no longer barriers to this opioid overdose antidote to hundreds of harm reduction groups nationwide.
  
  
• Ensuring widespread access to KLOXXADO^® by providing a Co-Pay Assistance Program for eligible individuals, further increasing access and decreasing out-of-pocket costs to this life-saving medication.
  
  
• Partnering with State Government and Community Programs to expand access to our naloxone portfolio and continuing to provide generic medications for the treatment of substance use disorder to patients and health care providers.

Warnings and Precautions

•  Use KLOXXADO^® right away if you suspect an opioid overdose emergency, even if you are not sure, because an opioid overdose emergency can cause severe injury or death. Signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose emergency may include:

  • Breathing problems, including slow or shallow breathing in someone difficult to awaken or who looks like they are not breathing.
  • The black circle in the center of the colored part of the eye (pupil) is very small (sometimes called "pinpoint pupils") in someone difficult to awaken.
• Family members, caregivers or other people who may have to use KLOXXADO^® in an opioid overdose emergency should know where KLOXXADO^® is stored and how to give KLOXXADO^® before an opioid overdose emergency happens.
• Get emergency medical help right away after using the first dose of KLOXXADO^®. Rescue breathing or CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) may be needed while waiting for emergency medical help.
• The signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose emergency can return after KLOXXADO^® is given. If this happens, give another dose after 2 to 3 minutes, using a new KLOXXADO^® device, alternating nostrils, and watch the person closely until emergency medical help arrives.
• Do not use KLOXXADO^® if you are allergic to naloxone hydrochloride or any of the ingredients in KLOXXADO^®.
•  KLOXXADO^® can cause sudden and severe opioid withdrawal, the symptoms of which may include body aches, diarrhea, increased heart rate, fever, runny nose, sneezing, goosebumps, sweating, yawning, nausea or vomiting, nervousness, restlessness or irritability, shivering or trembling, stomach cramps, weakness and increased blood pressure.
•  In infants under 4 weeks old who have been receiving opioids regularly, sudden opioid withdrawal may be life-threatening if not treated the right way. Signs and symptoms include: seizures, crying more than usual, and increased reflexes.
•  Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions before using KLOXXADO^®, including if you have heart problems, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.
