Health Canada, as an emergency health measure to the current opioid crisis, will be temporarily allowing a naloxone nasal spray to be sold in Canada.
Â
The spray will be an alternative to the naloxone injectable kits that are currently available.
Â
Dr. Paul Hasselback is the Medical Health Officer for Central Vancouver Island….
Â
Â
Hasselback figures the spray, when it does become available, will likely cost more than the kits that are currently available.
Â
The province of BC has been in a state of public health emergency as a result of an increasing number of opioid deaths since early April.Â
