An FDA approved medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose
OTC REVERSAL MEDICATION
OTC Reversal Medications are medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. It is an opioid antagonist—meaning that it binds to opioid receptors and can reverse and block the effects of other opioids.
MAPDA works to bring access to schools
Roundtable on School Access to Naloxone
On August 7th, 2024, HB24-1003, pioneered by two Durango high school students, was passed into law, making opiate antagonists and drug testing strips available on school buses and in school buildings.
MAPDA is proud to have participated in the School Access to Naloxone Roundtable to fight for this change, and support HB24-1003 giving students the right to have naloxone on their person. We must protect our youth.
