Overdose antidote Narcan to become available over the counter

Narcan, a nasal spray that can reverse opioid overdoses, will be sold without a prescription starting next week.
Major retailers like Walgreens and CVS will carry the product, which will cost $44.99 for two doses.
Experts welcome the wider availability of naloxone, a potentially life-saving drug, but some raise concerns about pricing.
Naloxone works within minutes to reverse the effects of opioid overdoses.
The OTC access makes naloxone more accessible, but broader efforts are still needed to address the opioid epidemic.
