One of the biggest pharmacy chains in the country is helping to fight drug abuse here in the St. Louis area.
The pharmacy chain will install 500 prescription drug drop boxes in stores across the country, including in Missouri and Illinois. It will also start selling the overdose-reversal drug Narcan without a prescription at its Illinois stores.
Five on Your Side’s Grant Bissell shows you why the drug prevention community is celebrating these programs as a huge win in the fight against the heroin and prescription drug epidemic.
