Availability of buprenorphine/naloxone films and naloxone nasal spray in community pharmacies in Texas, USA

Abstract

Most pharmacies in Texas do not appear to be willing and able to dispense prescribed buprenorphine/naloxone films and naloxone nasal spray to patients with opioid use disorder in a timely manner. Deficiencies in availability are markedly more pronounced in independent pharmacies compared with chain pharmacies.
