The number of patients on scheduled or prn benzodiazepines has grown significantly. The requirement to give naloxone is absurd. Half of my patients would be getting naloxone. I have called three different pharmacies and none of them even stock the 1mg/1ml SQ dose. One pharmacy had the nasal dosing at 150.00 dollars. This regulation needs more thought. It is unworkable at this time.
