Narcan: Should its Use Be Extended to Non-First Responders?

VIEW

Narcan has been a staple for the treatment of opioid overdoses and historically, its use was exclusive to medical personnel and, in limited quantities, to first responders. As the epidemic evolved, there was a paradigm shift from prescription to non-prescription opioids. As a result, overdoses continue to be significant and Narcan utilization is now accessible to non-responders, such as family members, friends, institutions, etc. This session will cover the evolution of Narcan use and the pros and cons of access to Narcan for all.
