PENNSYLVANIA, USA — Rite Aid has joined the growing list of businesses such as Target, CVS and Walgreens that have all opted to sell Narcan over the counter.

The pharmacy chain announced that Narcan will now be available for purchase from any location nationwide on Monday.

According to Rite Aid, Narcan will soon be able to be purchased by the carton for $45. Each carton contains two nasal spray medication devices that are single-use.  

“By making NARCAN Nasal Spray easily accessible over the counter to Rite Aid customers, more people will have the ability to save a life,” said Summer Kerley, Vice President of Clinical Services and Market Access Solutions for Rite Aid. “We encourage customers to ask their local Rite Aid pharmacist how they can be prepared to reverse an opioid emergency.”
