To have this available in a coprescribing way to family members and to patients alike and to make sure that they are trained in the utilization of this is no different than having an automatic defibrillator on a wall in a gym.

The word 'epidemic' is getting used a lot to describe this.

I have introduced the Co-Prescribing to Reduce Overdoses Act, which would create a demonstration project to encourage co-prescribing opioid overdose reversal drugs like naloxone.

The FCC has to have the means to fulfill its mission, to protect consumers, promote competition, and advance innovation.
