Compassionate Responses to Opioid Overdoses!
Dear Harm Reduction Supporter,
We need your help in adding 3mg naloxone to the PA state standing order. A growing body of evidence shows that low-dose naloxone is the most appropriate dose to compassionately respond to an opioid overdose. The same evidence indicates that high-dose naloxone can cause unnecessary harm and interfere with additional life-saving interventions. Now that there is a 3mg naloxone product available, it is imperative that it is added to the state standing order.
Please send a *pre-written* letter to the Pennsylvania Dept. of Health Secretary Dr. Debra Bogen, and urge her to act now!
On behalf of the PA Harm Reduction Network, THANK YOU for all you do!
In Solidarity,
