Thank you Mayor Mandani. You’ve just saved countless lives by posting this important information.
For those NOT in NYC, I'd like to give a shout out to EndOverdose.net. They offer free nasal nalaxone (after a $8 shipping charge) as well as training on how to administer it. I'm a physician and have purchased from and donated to them repeatedly. They are legit!
Saving a life shouldn’t require medical training. Naloxone should be as accessible as a first aid kit, because the few minutes after an overdose can mean everything.
