RE: [MaineOverdosePrevention] Naloxone poll on BDN #unsecure#

[Harper, Jayne]

I wasn’t pleased with the statement, “the drug [naloxone], which results in sudden and violent withdrawal and can cause vomiting and aspiration.” We just don’t reports of this from take-home naloxone programs across the country. These are simply fear tactics.

Interesting that the public is divided with only 51% in favor of allowing the antidote, with total of around 300 people voting thus far.

Hi folks - the BDN has a poll up on the Naloxone bill - go here and vote YES to show Maine legislators that there is wide support! http://bangordailynews.com/2014/02/24/health/maine-lawmakers-give-initial-approval-to-wider-use-of-overdose-halting-drug/

Would anyone from the medical/prevention field be willing to write an LTE to that effect?
