Why:
Overdose deaths are continuing to rise in our community. The Rotary Club of Tallahassee and Rotary Action Group Addiction Prevention North America, in collaboration with Hikma Pharmaceuticals, are taking the lead and have trained community citizens on the administration of Kloxxado, a new stronger Naloxone that lasts longer, works faster, and is more effective in reversing overdose and saving lives. It is considered a life-saving drug.
Our trainers provide a training session on how to administer Naloxone. The training session is completed within an hour.
Important: Preregistration is necessary to ensure we have the appropriate number of FREE Kloxxado Kits available.
