What's a dose of narcan cost?
Injectable? 2005, it was $0.92. Couple years ago, $15. Now $30 ish.
The EpiPen like version, Evzio, was $287.50 in 2014. $375 in 2015. $1,875 in 2016. $2,250 in 2017.
Nasal spray version is $63, but regularly discounted to mid $30's.
A person might need multiple doses. I'd certainly mandate that townships switch to injectable over the easier and much quicker nasal spray version unless you could negotiate a really good price. Govt regs on injecting drugs is a pain, but for small towns, still cheaper to get every bloody EMS, fire fighter and cop certified than to use the EpiPen version two or three times.
Pfizer has said priced their narcan "responsibly" with "sensitivity to the need for the product" and "the investments necessary to produce high-quality generic drugs as well as ensure appropriate distribution through licensed medical professionals." In other words, feds mandated it so they jacked up the pricing to celebrate their lobbyists' success.
