Emergent BioSolutions, a global life-science company dedicated to addressing public health threats like the opioid epidemic, is partnering with communities and organizations affected by this crisis to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and make a difference. Emergent manufactures life-saving interventions such as the nasal spray form of naloxone, also known as NARCAN® Nasal Spray.
Organizations in Ontario, including businesses in the Cooksville area, can now take action by ordering NARCAN® Nasal Spray (4 mg/0.1 mL) online through OrderNARCAN.ca. With opioid-related hospitalizations rising—36,233 incidents were reported in Canada between January 2016 and December 2022—it's more important than ever for local businesses to be prepared to respond to accidental opioid poisonings.
The Cooksville BIA encourages businesses to equip themselves with this vital resource. By having NARCAN® Nasal Spray on hand, your business can play a part in potentially saving lives during emergencies.
To order, visit OrderNARCAN.ca, select "Ontario" on the map, and complete your order online. For questions about new or previous orders, Emergent customer service is available at 1-844-898-0657 or via email at customerservicecanada@ebsi.com.
