Free Narcan Coming To Monmouth County Pharmacies
The drug Naloxone, which can work to reverse an opioid overdose, will be made free at local pharmacies next week.
MONMOUTH COUNTY – Several Monmouth County pharmacies will be giving away free naloxone next week as part of a state-sponsored distribution day.
The NJ Department of Human Services is making the opioid overdose reversal drug Naloxone free at participating pharmacies from Sept. 24 through Sept. 26.
Naloxone, otherwise known as its brand name Narcan, works by blocking opioid drugs from binding to the brain and can reverse opioid overdoses. It can be given as an injection but most free kits are generally the spray version.
