Naloxone can save lives
Naloxone is a safe way to reverse an opioid overdose. Naloxone is legal in all 50 states, and anyone can access, purchase, and use naloxone. Some pharmacies have naloxone in stock, and almost all can order it for you and get it to you within a couple of days. Many insurance plans, including Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance plans, cover naloxone. Visit your local pharmacy and ask your pharmacist about naloxone.
