Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an overdose that is caused by an opioid drug (i.e. prescription pain medication or heroin). Naloxone may be obtained at a pharmacy using the statewide standing order (https://www.health.pa.gov/topics/Documents/Opioids/General Public Standing Order.pdf) signed by Secretary of Health, Dr. Rachel Levine. Naloxone may be covered by insurance and consumers are encouraged to check with their insurers to understand their insurance coverage for naloxone. Individuals covered by Medicaid can obtain naloxone without a copay.
