The Philadelphia Department of Public Health recently published a letter and FAQ reminding all city pharmacies that as of January 1, 2019, they were required to stock two doses of naloxone. The requirements are the result of an Ordinance that was adopted in November 2018. Additionally, the Ordinance requires pharmacies to post signage indicating that naloxone is available. For additional information, contact dph.opioid@phila.gov.
