Also in California, as part of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) Master Plan for Tracking the Fentanyl and Opioid Crises, California will make its own private label branded over the counter (OTC) naloxone hydrochloride (HCL) nasal spray (CalRx®). It will be available for free to eligible organizations through the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) Naloxone Distribution Project (NDP) or for sale for $24 per twin-pack.
