WASHINGTON - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved selling naloxone without a prescription, setting the overdose-reversing drug on course to become the first opioid treatment drug to be sold over the counter.
Who is their customer base? Are recreational drug users going to spend part of their drug money on this? Is an overdosing patient lucid enough to treat themselves? If it is expensive, will some people wait and see if the OD recovers on his own instead of using it?
I don't think they thought this through very well.
Outfuckinstanding. But I still have to jump thru hoops to get an asthma rescue inhaler, or pain meds so I can try to sleep thru the night. Cocksuckers.
Why would the CCP give the FDA permission to do this?

If you or a loved one took Naloxone OTC, you may be entitled to compensation.

Wanna cure the drug problem? There's only one way. Legalize Fentanyl to OTC, criminalize Narcan and forbid EMS from responding to O.D.s
ReplyDeleteDefinitely make it available in prisons. No limits for people on death row.

ReplyDeleteYou think you're pissed off now, wait until the dopers get the naloxone for free.
DeleteHow is that nasal spray going to work if the patient isn't breathing?
ReplyDeleteIt’s absorbed through the nasal mucosa.
