What it does
(1) Under existing law, a licensed health care provider who is authorized by law to prescribe an opioid antagonist may, if acting with reasonable care, prescribe and subsequently dispense or distribute an opioid antagonist to a person at risk of an opioid-related overdose or to a family member, friend, or other person in a position to assist a person at risk of an opioid-related overdose. Existing law defines "opioid antagonist" for this purpose to mean naloxone hydrochloride that is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of an opioid overdose.
