The Food and Drug Administration gave its stamp of approval to Opvee, which can be used on patients 12 years and older.
"Opvee's FDA approval represents a significant achievement in the development of new treatment options to address today's era of opioid overdoses that are driven by powerful synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl," said Mark Crossley, CEO of Indivior, the pharmaceutical company that created Opvee. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 100,000 people in the U.S. died from an overdose in 2021.
