The patent is filed for a stable pharmaceutical composition with naloxone
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230149388A1) describes a formulation for treating opioid exposure. The formulation includes naloxone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, NaCl, BZK, EDTA, and citric acid. The concentration of these ingredients varies within specific ranges, such as between 0.3% and 3.0% for naloxone, between 0.3% and 3% for NaCl, between 0.005% and 0.05% for BZK, between 0.02% and 0.25% for EDTA, and between 0.10% and 1.0% for citric acid.
The patent also claims that the formulation can be administered to a subject in need of opioid exposure treatment. The administration can be done through injection, either intramuscularly or subcutaneously, and can be performed using an auto-injector device. The method of treatment involves administering a specific dosage of naloxone from the formulation, which results in various pharmacokinetic parameters such as elimination half-life, AUC in plasma, Cmax, Tmax, and bioavailability falling within certain ranges. The formulation also has specific characteristics, such as osmolality between 250 mOsm and 500 mOsm, and a pH between 3 and 7.
Overall, this patent describes a formulation and method for treating opioid exposure using specific concentrations of naloxone and other ingredients. The formulation can be administered using an auto-injector device and provides desired pharmacokinetic parameters for effective treatment.
