Getting KLOXXADO® is simple and easy
An opioid overdose emergency can happen to anyone, at any time – ask your doctor if prescription KLOXXADO® is right for you.
KLOXXADO® is available at retail pharmacies across the United States. If your pharmacy of choice doesn’t have it on the shelf, they can get it for you quickly. If you get your naloxone from a community program, ask them if they distribute (or can start distributing) KLOXXADO®.
For patients at risk of opioid overdose, naloxone is key. Discuss if KLOXXADO®—an 8 mg option—is appropriate.
KLOXXADO® can save your patient’s life, and there is no generic equivalent. Be sure to keep it on the shelf.
Community pricing is available for community organizations and first responders.
