Now the FDA Wants Nalmefene to Be a Fentanyl-Exposure β€œProphylactic" TH104 is intended for military and first responders to self-administer. The FDA will reportedly accept the application without new trials.

Contrary to baseless propaganda from law enforcement & misleading research from pharma co., #nalmefene has no proven overdose-reversal advantage compared to #naloxone & has been universally condemned by public health experts for potentially increasing risk of #overdose. filtermag.org/fda-th104-na...

Jails struggle to prevent overdose deaths as fentanyl is smuggled in, and treatment isn't available Jails may seem secure, but people who run them have a very hard time keeping drugs out. Those drugs often lead to overdoses.

β€œPeople describe it as the worst experience of their life,” Dr. #CaitlinBonney. β€œNausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Body aches. Muscle aches. They can’t sleep. They want to die bc of this #withdrawal.” And sometimes they do die because of lack of access to care & dehydration. www.tpr.org/2025-09-22/j...?

Stigma From Medical Providers Contributed to My Son’s Overdose Death At pivotal times, medical providers could have helped Alex. Instead, they labeled him an "addict" and chastised him for "bad choices."

"At pivotal times, medical providers could have helped my son," writes Patricia A. Roos. Instead, "we found doctors and nurses chastising Alex for his 'bad choices' and 'lack of will power.'"

"At the facilities he resided in, he was simply an 'addict.'"

Sometimes families tell me their loved one, who struggles with substances, tried "everything" because they went to rehab multiple times. When I probe, the problem often is that they never received simultaneous treatment for other co-occurring mental health disorders. #addiction
