Sacramento, California (AP) – Californian residents are now able to buy opioid reversal drugs directly from the state, depending on the less expensive and easy -to -access programs, the officials said.
Last year, the state started selling its own general version of NARCAN to business and local governments for $ 24 per twin, and now sells it online online. In the general pharmacy and the online marketplace, the box containing the cost of two -time dosage is between $ 45 and $ 70.
Oxoidal deaths from Heroin, Pentanil and Oxycodon have recently reached 7,847 in California and in 2023, but California officials have begun to see the decrease in death.
This measure is part of the extensive promotion of the California Governor Gavin Newsom, and the pharmaceutical company tries to lower the price by providing cheap and competitive drugs according to the state’s CALRX label.
NEWSOM said in a statement, “The drug that saves life should not be provided with a price tag that changes life. CALRX is about creating essential drugs that can be cheaper and access to essential drugs such as Naloxone.
Naloxone, which can reverse the overdose of opioids, has been available in the United States since March 2023, and the US Food and Pharmacy has approved NARCAN, a cospray brand produced by Emercent Biosology, a pharmaceutical company based in Maryland.
California also plans to make insulin more cheaper to residents. The state has agreed to produce CALRX brand insulin, which is used to treat non -profit Sibika and diabetes.
