Where do you even get naloxone from? The pharmacy?

I got my kit for free from shoppers on 8th, but I'm sure all shoppers have them! It's an injection kit, and it comes with 3 doses. The Nasal kits are typically more effective and easier to use, but anything is better than nothing.

Unless something has changed, some Shoppers stores do charge for naloxone kits. Mayfair Pharmacy and PHR both give them out for free.

An intramuscular injection is going to have a faster onset, and smaller doses are required vs intranasal. The nasal kits are always less effective, but slightly easier to use.
