During an interview aired on Tuesday’s edition of ABC’s “Nightline,” CDC Acting Principal Deputy Director Dr. Debra Houry said that parents “should consider carrying” the anti-opioid overdose medication Naloxone “to save their child’s life or somebody else’s life.”

Houry, who is also an ER doctor, said that she carries Naloxone with her in her purse and that everyone should be aware of how to reverse overdoses.

Co-host Juju Chang asked, “And we’ve reported on the fact that K-12 schools now are taking matters into their own hands, keeping Narcan on hand. Do you really think that that’s what we’ve come to, that the parents should consider carrying it themselves?”
