Emergent BioSolutions says it hopes the cost of its over-the-counter nasal spray Narcan – an opioid overdose reversal medicine – will be less than $50 for one carton of two 4-milligram doses.
April 21, 2023 --
The FDA approved OTC Narcan on March 29, but Emergent didn’t provide a cost at that time. Emergent said it anticipates the drug will be sold in stores and online by late summer. “It is unlikely that most folks will drop $40 to $50 on Narcan,” said Michael Barnett, MD, associate professor of health policy and management at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “They are also prioritizing rent, food, and also paying for opioids, which we want them to decrease.”
