Act 370 of the 2016 Legislature in Louisiana increases access to naloxone. Medical professionals issue a standing order - a prewritten medication order by an authorized prescriber - to pharmacies, where naloxone can then be sold, and to community organizations, who can give naloxone out free-of-charge.
Naloxone is now legal for anyone to have on hand. A 2014 Good Samaritan Law also protects* the victim of overdose from criminal charges, excluding possession with intent to distribute, when 911 is called.
