Naloxone dispensed by pharmacists is exempt from standard drug labeling requirements under section 32-1967.

Pharmacists must report naloxone dispensing to the prescription monitoring program, including dispenser information, patient information, prescriber information, drug details, and dispensing date, but naloxone shall not appear in patient utilization reports.

The Board of Pharmacy may transfer up to $1,000,000 annually to each of the Arizona poison and drug information center and a poison and drug information center serving Maricopa County.
