Journal: The Effects of Intramuscular Naloxone Dose on Mu Receptor Displacement of Carfentanil in Rhesus Monkeys. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 6, 2021 To address this need, a higher dose of NLX has been investigated in a 5 mg IM formulation called ZIMHI but, while the effects of intravenous (IV) and IN administration of NLX on the opioid mu receptor occupancy (RO) have been studied, comparatively little is known about RO for IM administration of NLX...Plasma levels were 4.6 ng/mL, 16.8 ng/mL, and 43.4 ng/mL for the three IM doses, and a significant correlation between percent RO and plasma NLX level was observed (r = 0.80). These results suggest that higher doses of IM NLX result in higher mu RO and could be useful in combating overdoses resulting from potent synthetic opioids.
