Connecting Iowans to Overdose Prevention
Tele-Naloxone
ABOUT
Tele-Naloxone is a partnership between the Iowa Division of Public Health and University of Iowa Health Care.
​
These organizations understand that you might not be comfortable asking for naloxone from your family doctor, a local pharmacy or a community organization; and that's okay.
​
With this program you will simply visit with a pharmacist by tele-medicine, directly from your smart phone or laptop, and get FREE naloxone delivered to your door.
The purpose of the Tele-Naloxone program is to prepare Iowans by providing them a naloxone kit in advance of a possible overdose. In the event of an urgent need for naloxone due to an overdose occurring, please seek emergency medical services and call 911.
