pharmacies should automatically give you (or at the very least offer) naloxone any time you get an opioid prescription
#and that naloxone should be free#i already keep naloxone in the house but neither the pharmacy or the doctor mentioned it???? which is wild to me#all this shit about controlled substances and “don't get addicted!” but NOTHING about naloxone??????#blows my mind#ur just expecting people to rawdog opioids possibly for the first time in their life post surgery & u offer no harm reduction whatsoever 😳#i don't think this is an individual failing idk how common this knowledge is this is definitely systemic#they didn't teach it to us even working in healthcare on surgery recovery wards?????#i remember sitting in class listening about opioids and when it got to the end of the lecture the prof still hadn't said#anything about naloxone i asked them about it and they said “what?” and i was like 😟 uhhhhhh#yk#the life saving overdose reversing medication 😭#and everyone in the class just looked at me n prof was like “why do u know that” and i was like “why wouldn't u teach about it”#WILD#we didnt even have any not locked in med stations and the nurses on these rehab wards sucked#so i always kept at least a one in my scrub pockets#anyway naloxone is really fucking important!!!!!! u can usually find some for free in ur county#i used to have a whole thing abkht where to get free naloxone and needles and stuff i need to find that#harm reduction#naloxone#opioids
