A proof-of-concept transbuccal swab delivery of naloxone-HCL study using a mucoadhesive, plant-based film-forming resin formulation demonstrated comparable blood levels to benchmark intramuscular (IM) injection in highly predictive dog model. Results from this study allow the potential to translate rapid onset in humans with therapeutic blood levels being reached in 2-3 minutes comparable to that observed with commercially available parenteral injections and intranasal administrations. The simplicity, ease of delivery and rapid effectiveness has the potential to meet the public health emergency needs in the rescue of opioid overdosing.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
