AHRQ-Funded Website Supports Access to Medication That Reverses Opioid Overdoses

A new website funded by AHRQ helps individuals, public health departments, schools or community organizations find sources of naloxone, a prescription medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. U.S. Surgeon General Jerome M. Adams, M.D., recently issued a public health advisory to urge more Americans to carry the potentially lifesaving drug. Prevent-Protect.org is designed to help anyone identify a pharmacy carrying the drug while also providing tools for organizations conducting campaigns around overdose prevention and naloxone advocacy, outreach and communication.
