CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WCHS) — Narcan is now available over-the-counter nationwide.


Prior to approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Naloxone was prescription-only and given out by certain organizations with approval from a state standing order. Now, anyone in the country can go to their local pharmacy and pay $44.99 for two doses of Narcan.
