Opioid Antidote Naloxone Recalled
A recall of the opioid overdose antidote Naloxone was announced Monday.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the recall was triggered by the possibility of "loose particulate matter on the syringe plunger" that could pose a number of health risks, CNN reported.
Those risks include "local irritation, allergic reactions," and a range of cardiovascular issues, including blood clots, according to the FDA.
