As the U.S. opioid crisis continues raging across the country, the new arrival of a key over-the-counter drug to retail stores could make the difference between life or death.
Narcan, an opioid reversal medication, is set to be available for purchase without a prescription in grocery stores and pharmacies nationwide beginning next week.
The medication will also be available for purchase online, making Narcan more accessible to consumers than ever before.
While the introduction of Narcan to stores may not stop drug abuse in its tracks, it’s certainly an over-the-counter solution for preventable overdoses.
