International Overdose Awareness Day (August 31st) reminds us that overdoses can happen to anyone, regardless of age or background. Being prepared can make all the difference in an emergency. Naloxone is a safe, fast acting medication that can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, giving emergency responders valuable time to provide care. Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy offers free naloxone kits along with simple, hands on training so you can feel confident using one if needed. Whether for yourself, a loved one, or your workplace, having a naloxone kit available is a small step that could save a life. Ask our pharmacy team how to get yours today.
