Naloxone is a medication that can reverse an overdose that is caused by an opioid drug (i.e., prescription pain medication, heroin, or illicit fentanyl). For more information about naloxone, including information on Pennsylvania’s Naloxone Standing Orders and training video, please visit: Naloxone | Department of Health | Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Any organization in Pennsylvania interested in purchasing naloxone or drug checking strips may make a request to receive these supplies at no cost through the Overdose Prevention Program | Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs | Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Multiple formulations of naloxone are available through this program.
