- Abstract
DISCUSSION: IMPACT OF RESULTS AND THE GENERAL IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY PHARMACIES The results of the study certainly contest existing trepidation about associations between naloxone and patient opioid risk behaviors. In the face of rising opioid overdose fatalities, the importance of naloxone as a life-saving measure cannot be understated. Notably, intervention pharmacies focused on dispensing naloxone to patients receiving a long-acting/extended-release opioid, or if they received greater than or equal to eighty-four opioid pills.
