NARCAN® NASAL SPRAY IS NOW AVAILABLE OVER-THE-COUNTER NATIONWIDE
In a major step to combat opioid overdose deaths, Narcan® Nasal Spray is now available over the counter at all Walgreens locations. To mark the occasion, Walgreens has teamed up with End Overdose to develop a naloxone education video that trains viewers on how to identify and respond to an overdose (view our collaboration here). It’s a watershed moment for End Overdose as we continue to make our training and resources available to anyone and everyone across the United States.

“This community-first effort with Walgreens will hopefully empower everyone to feel comfortable carrying and administering naloxone nasal spray,” says Theo Krzywicki, CEO and founder of End Overdose. “Just as you might carry other first aid items, this can and should be something that is accessible to all.”
