Opioid Overdose Reversal Medication

Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an overdose from opioids, including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications. Naloxone is safe and effective.

Naloxone is available at many Texas pharmacies without a prescription. For example, naloxone is dispensed at all CVS Pharmacy and Walgreens locations. Many health insurance plans cover the cost of naloxone. If you or someone you know is at increased risk for opioid overdose, please carry naloxone and keep it at home.
