Free Naloxone Coming To Burlington County Pharmacies

BURLINGTON COUNTY, NJ — The opioid overdose reversal drug naloxone (commonly called Narcan) will be available for free to residents without a prescription at participating pharmacies throughout Burlington County from Sept. 24-26 as part of a statewide effort to combat the opioid crisis.

NJ Department of Human Services is making the opioid overdose reversal drug free at participating pharmacies from Sept. 24 through Sept. 26. No insurance, prescription, payment or name is required to pick up the medication. The naloxone will be distributed on a first come, first served basis, and is limited to one per person.
