Alabama physicians are commending the Food and Drug Administration’s decision today to allow a nasal spray version of Narcan to be available as over-the-counter medication.
“Making Narcan available without prescription is an essential step to save lives from fentanyl and other opioid-related overdoses,” said Dr. Julia Boothe, President of the Medical Association of the State of Alabama. “We encourage all Alabamians to learn how to recognize, prevent and respond to an opioid overdose by using Narcan.”
