The company that makes the drug said its goal is to match the price that government agencies, nonprofit organizations and first responders pay for it.
Emergent, the company that produces the overdose-reversal drug Narcan says it plans to sell the nasal spray product for less than $50 when it becomes available over-the-counter later this year.
"A goal for the out-of-pocket retailer price is to be consistent with our public interest pricing for one carton of two 4 mg doses, although retail price is set by individual retailers," Emergent said in a statement. "Our pricing for both public interest groups and retailers would be significantly less than the current Wholesale Acquisition Cost.
Narcan, also known as naloxone, is a medication used primarily by paramedics, police officers and firefighters to rapidly reverse an opioid overdose. It works by blocking the effects of opioids in the brain, which can help restore normal breathing and prevent death. It is also increasingly being carried by community organizations, harm reduction programs and schools.
