STAT+: Narcan manufacturer aims to price over-the-counter kit under $50
While many addiction and overdose experts celebrated its new over-the-counter status, they have also warned that it will do little good unless Narcan is sold at an affordable price.
The manufacturer of Narcan, the overdose reversal medication that received over-the-counter status last month, says it aims to price a two-pack of the medication at less than $50.
In a statement Thursday, Emergent BioSolutions said it will take “a responsible approach to pricing” as Narcan becomes available over the counter. While many addiction and overdose experts celebrated its new over-the-counter status, they have also warned that it will do little good unless Narcan is sold at an affordable price.
