In California, naloxone is available without a prescription from many pharmacies, including major chains such as Walgreens and CVS. Some local health departments also offer naloxone kits or distribute them through community-based programs.

To purchase naloxone, you can visit a pharmacy and request the medication from the pharmacist. In some cases, a prescription may be required, but in many cases, naloxone can be obtained directly from the pharmacist without a prescription.

It’s worth noting that the cost of naloxone can vary depending on the pharmacy and insurance coverage. However, many insurance plans cover naloxone as a preventive measure, and some pharmacies may offer discounts or other programs to help make the medication more affordable.

It’s important to remember that naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. If you or someone you know is at risk of opioid overdose, it’s important to have naloxone readily available and to seek emergency medical attention as soon as possible.
