Abstract
Recent studies have shown that in office-based settings, while 10.67 per 100 visits included one or more opioid prescriptions, only 1 per 100 visits included naloxone as a co-prescription. Unfortunately, many chronic pain syndromes necessitate the use of opioids. While these prescriptions are reasonable, the data suggests that clinics across the country continue to use opioid medications per recommendations but fail to provide patients with Naloxone co-prescriptions and appropriate education.
