NARCAN availability
There are two ways to access a naloxone rescue kit from a pharmacy:
1. Obtain a prescription from your prescriber and take it to a pharmacy that stocks naloxone. Many pharmacies are able to fill naloxone prescriptions or can order what they need.
2. Go directly to a pharmacy with a naloxone standing order and request a naloxone kit. For pharmacies with naloxone standing orders, a prescription is not needed.
Narcan is available under a standing order locally at:
Pepperell Family Pharmacy
