Complete or partial reversal of CNS depressive effects, especially respiratory depression, caused by natural or synthetic opioids and partial agonist/antagonist opioids.

Diagnosis of suspected acute opioid overdose or intoxication.

Naloxone has been used off-label for the treatment of neuraxial opioid-induced pruritus

The medicinal product can be injected intravenously (i.v.), intramuscularly (i.m.) or can be given via intravenous infusion.

The i.m. administration of naloxone hydrochloride should only be used in cases where an i.v. administration is not possible.

The most rapid effect is obtained by means of i.v. administration, which is why this method of administration is recommended in acute cases.
