Question by Liz: What exactly are the current barriers to naloxone access?
Law makers introduced a way to prevent drug overdoses in america, which is now the second leading cause of accidental deaths. One of those ways is to remove the barriers of Naloxone (Narcan) access, does anyone know what those barriers are?
In response to mark, I’m actually on the medication, well on suboxone which has naloxone in it. So do you think that’s the one and only barrier to getting it? And I know that you have to go through a program to get it in the first place, in Maine there’s a waiting list. Maybe this means making it more available and not needing a specialized doctor to prescribe it?

Best answer:

Answer by Mark R
One is that it can only be prescribed by a liscensed physician with a specialty in drug addiction treatment. “narcan” is what is given to stop an overdose of opiates since it it is a competitive inhibitor of opiate receptors.
