    Tampa, Florida – The Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County has announced the availability of free naloxone (Nalcan) nasal spray kits. This life-saving drug could reduce thousands of drug abuse deaths across the state. Naloxone is available to people who use drugs, have a history of drug use, are at risk of overdosing, friends, family members, and anyone who may witness an overdose.

    Increasing access to naloxone is a key component in combating the opioid epidemic. Providing naloxone to the public will help prevent overdose deaths in Florida.

    Naloxone is a drug that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose and restores breathing and consciousness within minutes of being administered to a person who has overdosed. It can be administered by (non-medical professionals) but is not a substitute for professional medical care. If you suspect an opioid overdose, you should call 911 immediately before administering naloxone.

    Anyone requesting a kit from DOH-Hillsborough must meet the following qualifications:

    • Must be 18+
    • Individuals at risk of experiencing an opioid overdose
    • Caregivers who may witness an opioid overdose, or others likely to experience or witness an opioid overdose.

    Naloxone kits are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm at:

    Specialty Treatment Center | 1105 E. Kennedy Blvd.
    University Area Health Center | 13601 N. 22nd Street
    Sulfur Springs Health Center | 8605 N. Mitchell Ave.
    Tuberculosis Center | 8515 N. Mitchell Ave.

    For more information on Naloxone in Hillsborough County, call 813-307-8000.

    Naloxone kits are free and no appointment is required. People using Naxolone receive educational materials, referrals, and connections for substance abuse interventions.
