Naloxone counteracts life-threatening depression of the central nervous and respiratory systems, allowing overdose victims to breathe normally again.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe are committed to educating and making it easier for all Americans to have this life-saving medicine available in their first aid kits in case of an emergency,\u201d said Kevin Ban, M.D. executive vice president and Walgreens chief medical officer. \u201cWe all must recognize that overdoses can happen to anyone, regardless of age, background or other factors. As a leading healthcare company, providing access to OTC naloxone creates an opportunity for bystanders, friends and family members to potentially save a life. In the event of an overdose, every second matters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nNaloxone should be administered as soon as someone shows signs of an opioid overdose and does not take the place of emergency medical care.
