Reducing the risk of medication overdose
Describe your company and organization and target audience
This company was founded with a mission to develop and commercialize solutions for the opioid crisis, one of the greatest public health emergencies of out time. And unlike COVID, there are no vaccines coming for the opioid crisis- this is a very complex problem, multi-headed beast that needs to be attacked on multiple fronts.
We have developed a solution to a major but previously unaddressed dimension of the opioid crisis- the combination of opioids with alcohol. When taken together, these substances interact in a way that makes them many times more dangerous than when taken individually (i.e., a 'synergistic effect'). Per CDC statistics 22.1% of prescription opioid overdoses occur because the patient makes the all-too-common mistake of drinking alcohol with their medication. SafeRx has developed a patented platform of "Alcohol Resistant Opioids" (AROs), which include an enzyme blocker with the prescription opioid. The enzyme blocker will remain inactive and have no effects if the patient abstains from alcohol, but if they drink with the ARO in their system the enzyme blocker is activated and quickly produces a very unpleasant reaction (sweating, headache, and nausea/vomiting). By deterring patients from mixing alcohol with their prescription opioid medication in this way, these ARO products are expected to save thousands of lives every year.
We are in a fundraising stage and need a professional appearing logo for the deck, website, promotional materials etc, so currently our target audience is investors. Ultimately the target audience will be physician prescribers, who we expect to chose our products because they reduce the risk of overdose. So a conveyance of safety and risk mitigation is the theme we're looking for.
