"Nightclubs Face Dilemmas Over Providing Overdose Antidotes"
In New York City, some nightclubs have been confiscating Narcan, a nasal spray form of naloxone used to reverse opioid overdoses, from patrons due to security concerns. This practice conflicts with a city initiative encouraging the public to carry the lifesaving drug. City officials, including the health commissioner, have emphasized that everyone should carry naloxone and that it should not be taken away, highlighting a disconnect between public health efforts and nightclub security protocols.
