Naloxone Never go without it - Kristi Kelley

November 6, 2023

Princeton Baptist Medical Center’s internal medicine resident clinic cares for many underserved patients, many of whom have chronic pain issues. Many of these patients will be prescribed opioids at some point in their life, whether that is a short course or long-term. In this patient demographic, some patients are drug abusers, whether that is prescription or off the street. Some medications, including opioids and benzodiazepines, can cause severe respiratory depression if too much is consumed or they are consumed with other similar substances. It is also becoming increasingly common that illicit drug users are coming across drugs that have been unknowingly laced with dangerous amounts of opioids such as fentanyl. This has led to an increase in the number of overdoses and the need for naloxone to be more accessible. This need has led to a new over-the-counter product that is starting to be pushed more in the community setting.
