Skyrocketing cost
Report dated : Dec. 7, 2016
"The research team called attention to skyrocketing prices for the lifesaving antidote, noting:
Hospira (a Pfizer Inc. company) charges $142 for a 10-pack of naloxone -- up 129 percent since 2012.
Amphastar's 1 milligram version of naloxone is used off-label as a nasal spray.
It's priced around $40 -- a 95 percent increase since September 2014.
Newer, easier-to-use formulations are even more expensive -- a two-dose package of Evzio (naloxone) costs $4,500, an increase of more than 500 percent over two years."
