Launching In Texas May 14th: Online Platform Provides Life-saving Opioid Antidote

DALLAS - May 13, 2019 - PRLog -- Texas - Fiduscript is excited to announce the launch of its online platform Naloxone Exchange (https://naloxoneexchange.com/products/) on May 14, 2019, to fight the opioid epidemic. Using technology creatively, the Naloxone Exchange provides access to the life-saving opioid antidote Naloxone to reduce deaths during an overdose. The HIPAA secure online platform is the first of its kind and is accessible to organizations and the general public. The platform allows for the legal purchase of the medication, offering effective training on how to use it, and ships it discreetly to the consumers' door. Texas will be the first state nationwide for the launch.

CEO and Founder, James Lott, witnessed the impact of the opioid crisis as a pharmacist and wanted to stop the epidemic in its track by creating open access to Naloxone to prevent opioid users' deaths. Lott reflects, "We have watched the opioid crisis transcend over the past several years. Illicit fentanyl, a powerful and potentially deadly opioid often shows up in many substances from heroin to cocaine. We know people want Naloxone in a convenient and private manner that didn't exist before." Lott's solution is rooted from a collaborative survey with a public university in which it was observed that 60 percent of substance users and their loved ones prefer not to speak to doctors or pharmacist about substance use, and almost fifty percent of these respondents said they'd prefer to purchase Naloxone online. Thus, the Naloxone Exchange was created.

How impactful is the opioid crisis and how does Naloxone Exchange help tackle this epidemic? In April 2018, the United States Surgeon General asked all Americans to carry the medication (https://www.surgeongeneral.gov/priorities/opioid-overdose...). This urgent call to action came after 72,000 people in the U.S. died (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/aug/16/us-drug-o...) in 2017 of drug overdose due to opioid-related substances. The Naloxone Exchange enables opioid users and their loved ones to purchase Naloxone without a prescription - increasing access to a life-saving medication.
