Ep.154/Dr Michael Presti, SAFERX Pharmaceuticals

The opioid crisis represents one of the greatest national public health emergencies of our time, ravaging communities throughout this country for decades.

But SafeRx has developed a solution to a previously unaddressed dimension of the crisis that is responsible for thousands of fatal prescription overdoses every year…the combination of opioids with alcohol. The opioid crisis is fueled by alcohol.  We talk with Neurologist Dr. Michael Presti about a breakthrough medicine designed to prevent the overdose epidemic.
