Walgreens Introduces Lower-Cost Generic Naloxone Nasal Spray

New $34.99 version aims to enhance accessibility of life-saving opioid overdose reversal drug.

Walgreens' generic naloxone is $10 cheaper than the branded Narcan, priced at $34.99 for two doses.
The medication is available online now and will be in stores nationwide by the end of the month.
Naloxone can reverse opioid overdoses if administered promptly, restoring normal breathing.
Experts believe the lower price could increase usage, though some argue it is still too high for many.
The move follows the FDA's approval of over-the-counter Narcan, which became available last fall.
