The Food and Drug Administration is weighing whether to make Narcan available at pharmacies over-the-counter. The drug is used to help reverse the effects of opioid overdoses, which claimed the lives of over 80,000 people in 2021, according to the CDC.
At First Capital EMS in West York, a small box of Narcan can be found in every ambulance inside its garage. Chief Don Deardorff says the drug is a vital, lifesaving tool.
