[naviga:h3]State to give some airports naloxone[/naviga:h3]
The state is providing naloxone to airports, including Pittsburgh International Airport, to expand access to the life-saving drug and decrease overdoses.
Gov. Tom Wolf recently announced naloxone will be provided to seven airports across the state, however Pittsburgh-Butler Regional Airport is not among them.
The naloxone will be stored with airport AED machines and first aid kits with the suggestion that all airport personnel are trained to both carry and administer the medication. Many airports already have their own public safety teams with police, fire and EMS, so this distribution will be available to those teams if needed as well.
Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. The Wolf administration increased federal funding for the distribution of naloxone to $5.4 million and expanded access to naloxone through a number of initiatives.
