Activity Overview
Prescribe to Prevent: Overdose Prevention and Naloxone Rescue Kits for Prescribers and Pharmacists is an online educational program for prescribers, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers that will help you prevent overdoses among your patients and their social networks. Through the program you will see videos of patient-pharmacist-prescriber encounters that model how to provide a patient overdose education and a naloxone rescue kit. The program also includes very brief instructional videos for the available naloxone rescue kit formulations designed for you to use with your patients.
