USA. Naloxone: Wide distribution effective in preventing deaths

ANN ARBOR—Broad distribution of the opioid reversal drug naloxone is highly cost-effective in reducing fatal overdoses, according to a new University of Michigan study.

The researchers examined the cost-effectiveness of increased distribution of naloxone to laypeople likely to witness or experience overdose, police and firefighters, and emergency medical services. (University of Michigan, USA, 20.08.2019)
