HOW TO USE NYXOID
Nyxoid is a brand name for a specific formulation of naloxone hydrochloride. Nyxoid is administered through the nasal passages, making it easy to use and suitable for individuals without medical training. It is designed for emergency situations to provide a quick and effective response to opioid overdoses.
1. Peel off the back of the Nyxoid container. Remove the nasal spray and place it within easy reach.
2. Lay the person on their back. Support the back of the neck, and let the head tilt back. Clear away anything you see blocking their nose.
3. Hold the spray as shown — first two fingers either side of the nozzle, thumb ready to push the plunger. Don’t press to prime or test before use.
4. Gently insert the spray nozzle into one nostril. Press firmly on the plunger until it clicks and gives the dose. Remove the nozzle from the nostril. If possible, note which nostril you used.
