Narcan maker aims for under $50 over-the-counter price
The maker of Narcan nasal spray is working to lower the cost of the life-saving product.
Emergent said in a statement Thursday that it is aiming for an out-of-pocket price of less than $50 for its Narcan, now that the Food and Drug Administration allows for over-the-counter sales.
Its goal is to match the price that government agencies, non-profits, and first responders pay.
The wholesale price is $125.
Pricing for over-the-counter Narcan will be left to individual retailers.
Emergent aims to have Narcan available online and in stores by late summer.
