FDA clarifies regulatory pathway for CounterAct’s naloxone nasal spray cap

According to California-based start-up CounterAct, the FDA has approved of the company’s approach regarding potential approval of its naloxone nasal spray cap. The CounterAct cap is a plastic device that snaps onto the top of a prescription bottle. In the event of an opiate overdose, the top of the cap is removed, allowing a spray nozzle to fold out to deliver a dose of naloxone intranasally.

After meeting with the FDA, the company said, spray characteristics for the device have been specified, and a bioavailability study of the naloxone formulation and human factors studies will be required.

CounterAct Co-Founder Todd Pizitz said, “The results from this latest FDA Review was very encouraging and we are ready to begin the regulatory pathway,” said Dr. Pizitz.
