THE Government's Take Home Naloxone (THN) Pilot scheme will run for an additional four months, according to an update from the Pharmacy Programs Administrator last week.
The program launched just over 12 months ago (PD 26 Nov 2019) and will now extend through to 30 Jun 2021.
Under the initiative naloxone will continue to be available for free and without a prescription to people who may experience or witness an opioid overdose in NSW, SA and WA.
"The extension will also allow for the continued collection of important evaluation data," the update noted.
