Manitoba Pharmacy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

Under what circumstances can naloxone be sold by a pharmacist?

1. With a prescription only

2. To adults over the age of 18

3. Without a prescription

4. To individuals with a special permit

The correct answer is: Without a prescription

Option A is incorrect because naloxone can be sold without a prescription. Option B is incorrect because there is no age restriction for the purchase of naloxone. Option D is incorrect because naloxone can be sold without a special permit. Naloxone is available over-the-counter in many states and can be sold by pharmacists to anyone, regardless of age, without a prescription or special permit. This is to ensure that naloxone, a medication used to reverse opioid overdoses, is readily accessible to those who need it in emergency situations.
