Why I Offer This

Built From What I See in the ER

This service comes straight out of the emergency department. The goal is simple: keep people safe, with no stigma attached to being prepared.

Nights Out, Parties & Festivals

In the emergency department, I've seen too many young, healthy people come in after a night out — a pill that wasn't what they thought, a festival where one dose was laced with fentanyl. Most never used regularly. Naloxone in a bag, a glovebox, or a dorm room is the difference between a scary night and a tragedy.

Pain Management on Several Medications

Older adults are often on multiple prescriptions at once — opioids for chronic pain alongside sleep aids or anti-anxiety medications. That combination can quietly raise overdose risk, even when everything is taken exactly as prescribed. A kit at home is simple, sensible insurance for the people who love them.

If You Love Someone at Risk

You don't have to use opioids to save a life. Parents, partners, roommates, and caregivers can all carry naloxone. California's statewide protocol lets me furnish it to anyone in a position to help in an emergency.

How It's Authorized — No Prescription Needed

California pharmacists may furnish naloxone directly under the Board-approved statewide protocol — California Business & Professions Code § 4052.01 and 16 CCR § 1746.3. No doctor's visit and no prescription are required. Every furnishing includes a short, required consultation, then the medication is transmitted to the pharmacy of your choice for pickup.
