The difference is the prescription is not written by your doctor. Oh okay, I didn't realize that because I know here in Florida people can get naloxone without a prescription. It is a prescription medication and that's what Fda regulates.
Picture this: a simple nasal spray that can save a life during an opioid overdose. Dr. Lewis Nelson, a leading voice in emergency medicine and medical toxicology, joins 'The Rehab' to shed light on the power of over-the-counter Naloxone nasal spray. As the Chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Dr. Nelson brings his extensive experience and dedication to tackling the opioid crisis to the table.
His insights into the practicalities and challenges of making Naloxone widely available are eye-opening. He also touches on the broader landscape of addiction treatment, comparing Naloxone's role with other medications like Naltrexone and Buprenorphine. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand the nuances of opioid overdose prevention and the importance of accessible, individualized treatment options. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that could make all the difference in the ongoing battle against opioid addiction.
