MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Latest on partnership making Narcan available on all University of Wisconsin campuses (all times local):
12:35 p.m.
The overdose-reversing drug Narcan will be available for use by security officers on all University of Wisconsin campuses.
Attorney General Brad Schimel joined with UW System President Ray Cross to make the announcement Wednesday. A partnership with the pharmaceutical company Adapt Pharma will make a nasal spray version of Narcan available for free at 10 UW campuses. Narcan is already available under existing partnerships at the other three campuses.
Schimel says UW is the first in the country to have Narcan available to the entire university system.
