I-Walgreens ibhengeze ukuba baya kuqalisa ukugcina i-Narcan, ichiza elingaphezulu kwe-counter elinyanga i-opioid overdoses, kuzo zonke iindawo zabo kwilizwe lonke. Ngokwenza ukuba eli yeza lifumaneke ngokulula, iWalgreens yenza ingxelo enkulu malunga nokuba ingxaki ye-opioid ngokwenene iyingxaki kangakanani na eMelika. (Eyeleleneyo: I-CVS Ithi Iyakuyeka Ukuzalisa iMimiselo ye-Opioid Painkillers kunye neNgcaciso yeeNtsuku ze-7)

"Ngokugcina i-Narcan kuzo zonke iikhemesti zethu, senza ukuba kube lula kwiintsapho nakubanakekeli ukuba bancede abo babathandayo ngokuba nayo xa kunokwenzeka ukuba ifuneka," utshilo usekela-mongameli weWalgreens uRick Gates kwingxelo.

Abaphenduli abaxakekileyo abaliqela eMelika baphatha i-Narcan kwaye sele bethengisa ngokuthe ngqo kubasebenzisi beziyobisi kunye neentsapho zabo iminyaka. Ukuba ilawulwe ngokukhawuleza ngokwaneleyo, ukutshiza kwempumlo kunamandla okusindisa ubomi bomntu ukuba bangaphezulu kakhulu kulo naluphi na uluhlu lwee-opioids-prescription painkillers kunye ne-heroin ebandakanyiweyo. (Idibeneyo: Ngaba i-Opioids iyimfuneko ngokwenene emva kweC-C?)

Kule minyaka ingamashumi amabini idlulileyo, ukusetyenziswa kweeopioid kuye kwanda eMelika. Ngokutsho kwamaZiko ezeMpilo eSizwe, ukusetyenziswa kwe-heroin yodwa kuye kwaphindaphindeka kane ukususela ngo-1999, okuye kwaba negalelo kumyinge wokufa kwe-opioid ye-91 ngosuku.

I-Walgreens ithi iyakwenza ukuba i-Narcan ifumaneke ngaphandle kommiselo kumazwe angama-45 ayivumelayo, kwaye iyasebenza kunye nabanye ukuyenza ifikeleleke ngakumbi. Baceba nokufundisa abathengi babo ngendlela yokusebenzisa isitshizi sempumlo, ngelixa begxininisa ukuba ayisiyonto yokufumana unyango olufanelekileyo.

Eli nyathelo lenkampani yamachiza liza kanye kwizithende zikaMongameli uDonald Trump ebhengeza ubhubhani we-opioid njengengxakeko yezempilo yelizwe. Ubhekisele kwingxaki njengo "hlazo lwesizwe" -oye aqinisekile ukuba i-US "izoyisa," ngokwe-CNN.

Kubalulekile ukuba ukhumbule ukuba umlutha awukhethi. (Thatha lo mfazi uthathe iyeza lokuthomalalisa iintlungu ngenxa yokulimala ngebhasikithi kwaye wasebenzisa iziyobisi kwi-heroin.) Yiyo loo nto kubalulekile ukuba uzifundise kwaye ugcine iliso lisondele kusapho kunye nabahlobo abanokuba bebandezeleka ngaphaya kweminyango evaliweyo. (Jonga ezi mpawu zixwayisa ngokusetyenziswa gwenxa kweziyobisi.)
