SUMMARY: Pharmacies in Mississippi have varying availability and willingness to dispense naloxone, a drug used to reverse opioid overdoses. A study found that 40% of pharmacies do not carry naloxone, while 37% were willing to dispense it. The study also revealed that 75% of pharmacies indicated a need for a prescription. There may be a lack of understanding or education on how standing orders for naloxone work. The model of allowing pharmacists to provide naloxone without a prescription is uncommon but has been successful in other states.
