Question 5

By co-locating your naloxone with your AED, people can have a single go-to location to retrieve emergency medical supplies.

Question 11

Where is the best place to keep my Nasal Naloxone?

Accepted Answer

The quick and easy answer would be: keep your naloxone where it is easily and readily accessible in the event of an opioid overdose emergency.

But, it is a bit more nuanced than that.

If you have a public location, or a location with a lot of people (a retail store, school, corporate office), you may already have the perfect place. Does your organization have AEDs in cabinets in centralized locations? AEDs are generally located throughout a facility that is easily and readily accessible to bystanders. And people are trained to locate and retrieve an AED for most medical emergencies. By co-locating your naloxone with your AED, people can have a single go-to location to retrieve emergency medical supplies. Installing the NaloxKit AED Retrofit Kit is a 5 minute task that provides a 'Grab & Go' solution with a pouch to hold the naloxone that clips to the AED and signage to place on and above the AED cabinet to let responders know that naloxone is located with the AED.

If you are more mobile or don't have centralized AED locations, then carrying your naloxone on your person, or your purse/backpack, etc. might be the better solution. NaloxKit's carry pouches and overdose kits can be worn on your belt, service vest or easily attached to your bag.
