SUMMARY: Mississippi has approved a new opioid antagonist, nalmefene, for over-the-counter sales without a prescription, to combat opioid overdoses. Sold as OPVEE, it supplements naloxone as an accessible remedy for emergencies. OPVEE, a nasal spray indicated for opioid-induced overdose treatment or suspected overdose cases, including those involving substances like fentanyl, is also used to lessen alcohol dependency. The FDA-approved spray allows for ease of use with a single dose per nostril, deliverable every two to five minutes if no response is detected. The update from the health department aims to decrease overdose fatalities statewide.
