The idea of discussing the risks of opioid overdose may be uncomfortable, but your doctor is ready for it. If you think there is a risk for you or your family, talk to your doctor about a Kloxxado® prescription.
Remember, you may be at higher risk of accidental overdose if you take opioids and:
- Also take a benzodiazepine*
- Have or are recovering from substance use disorder*
- You may be in situations where illicit substances are present
- Have a respiratory condition like COPD or sleep apnea*
- Have a mental health disorder*
