FAQs About Bassett Pharmacy Cooperstown
Naloxone (Narcan) Available Without a Prescription
Naloxone nasal spray is available at all Basset Health outpatient pharmacies and many retail and community pharmacies without a prescription. Naloxone, often referred to by the brand name Narcan, is an opioid antagonist that temporarily reverses the effects of both prescription and illegal opioids. It is highly effective as an emergency treatment in cases of known or suspected opioid overdose.
Safe Medication Disposal – Drug Collection Kiosk
We're proud to offer drug collection kiosks at various locations throughout our network to help our community members clean out their medicine cabinets safely! Just bring your unneeded, unwanted, and/or expired medications to any of these kiosks for free, safe disposal — no questions asked. We offer these drug collection kiosks in partnership with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
On Bassett Medical Center's campus, the drug collection kiosk can be found in the clinic building, right next to the outpatient pharmacy on the first floor.
