If you need or want to participate in FREE training on Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution, our team has recently developed an online training, consisting of a series of videos to train people to use naloxone (Narcan) and have overdose education and naloxone distribution conversations with those at high risk of witnessing or experiencing opioid overdoses. These trainings can be completed in 30-45 minutes. Click here to access this online training.

Are you looking for naloxone at a pharmacy?
Any person who asks for naloxone from a pharmacy for themselves or to help a person experiencing an opioid overdose can purchase naloxone, with or without a prescription (click here for Missouri’s standing order). However, this does not necessarily mean that every pharmacy will stock naloxone so we suggest calling your local pharmacy to make sure they have it.
To get naloxone from a pharmacy without a prescription:
Call to make sure the pharmacy stocks naloxone.
At the pharmacy, go to the prescription drop off window and ask to speak with a pharmacist about naloxone. While every pharmacy has their own protocol, the pharmacist must provide overdose education (overdose risk factors, how to recognize and respond to an overdose, and how to use naloxone) when dispensing naloxone.
The pharmacy may be able to bill your insurance, even without a prescription. While most insurances will cover at least some of the cost of naloxone, every insurance plan has different billing requirements. Your pharmacist can contact your insurance company to discuss any payment questions.

“Naloxoneforall.org works to get naloxone to people who use drugs and the folks who are the most likely to be a first responder in an opioid overdose emergency. For that reason we ask that if you are not a person who uses drugs and if you are not likely to be a first responder, please access supplies in your community. If you want assistance locating these resources, you may contact us. In addition, we do not supply service organizations, police departments, or other funded entities. You may reach out to us for advice after you have exhausted all other options.”
