FDA approves first opioid reversal drug from a nonprofit company
07/28/23
The Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved the first version of over-the-counter (OTC) naloxone from a nonprofit company, a move that could bring cheap and even free doses of the opioid overdose drug to Americans who need it most.
Unlike other naloxone products, Harm Reduction Therapeutics said it will make RiVive available for free or at low break-even cost.
The nonprofit said it is focused on supplying RiVive to communities that need it most and will make at least 200,000 doses (10 percent of projected initial annual product production) available for free.
“No company, entity, or individual will profit from sales of RiVive,” the manufacturer said.

Yeah... the Law of Unintended Consequences says free won't be free for long with the (unexpected) increased "need." Drug use with no consequences? SIGN ME UP! Well, not me as I would never, and have never, used.
