The opioid overdose reversal spray will cost $34.99, according to a May 15 Walgreens news release. It is currently only available online but will be in stores at every location by the end of May. 

“As an emergency physician, I have for years combatted the devastating impacts of the opioid overdose epidemic and worked tirelessly to save lives,” Priya Mammen, MD, senior medical director of Walgreens’ office of clinical integrity, said in the release. “Expanding access to naloxone is a critical step in empowering individuals, families and communities to act and be part of the solution.”

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
