An opioid overdose requires immediate medical attention. Call 911 immediately if you or someone you know exhibits any of the symptoms.
Any licensed healthcare provider can prescribe naloxone. You can also ask a registered pharmacist to write you a prescription. Most pharmacies can fill naloxone prescriptions, and insurance may cover the cost. To be sure, call your pharmacy first to check if they have naloxone in stock.
Steps to Ask for a naloxone Prescription
1. Ask a pharmacist to write and fill out a naloxone prescription.
2. Confirm with the pharmacist that you are not sensitive to naloxone.
3. Request instructions on how to use naloxone.
4. Give consent to the pharmacist to notify your healthcare provider or receive a written prescription record.
5. Ask any other questions you have.
Community Syringe Service Programs (SSPs) or Naloxone Access Points (NAPs) often provide naloxone for free. They may also offer training on how to use it, other harm reduction services, and access to recovery resources.
