Should I be recommending higher doses of naloxone? When should I use nalmefene? Is naloxone still effective with current trends in the unregulated drug supply? What's the downside of giving too much naloxone? Experts will debate it out, and you’ll learn the answers.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss the evidence supporting pros and cons of using different doses of naloxone or nalmefene for acute opioid overdose reversal
  • Describe the impact of naloxone doses on the continuum of care, including naloxone access, prehospital resources, hospital observation, and linkage to treatment
  • Compare the utility of naloxone access points, including pharmacies, vending machines, community programs, and online resources
