As part of a global opioid litigation settlement with Teva Pharmaceuticals, Tribes are eligible to receive free boxes of the opioid overdose emergency treatment medication Naloxone each year for 10 years.
Following the “Purdue Allocation” formula, each Tribe is entitled to a specific share of the Naloxone in the form of units. Each allocated unit contains 12 boxes, and each box contains two doses. An Excel spreadsheet detailing each Tribe’s unit allocation can be found here:
Teva Tribal Allocation of Naloxone
To receive the free Naloxone, Tribes must fill out a Naloxone Interest Form by October 15, 2023. Boxes must be shipped to a Tribal pharmacy, Indian Health Service, or a recipient designated by the Tribe. After receiving the Naloxone, Tribes may freely distribute the medication in any manner they choose.
It is important to note that, while the Naloxone is free, the interest form must be filled out by the deadline for Tribes to receive their units. If a Tribe does not fill out the interest form, their shares will be distributed to other interested Tribes.
To meet the deadline successfully, Tribes should
-
Fill out the Naloxone Interest Form (called “Exhibit E: Tribal Participation Form” on the document)
-
Submit the form in one of the following ways:
-
Email the signed form to [email protected]
-
Fax the signed form to (804) 521-7299, ATTN: Tribal Opioid Settlements
-
Mail the signed form to:
BrownGreer PLC

250 Rocketts Way
Richmond, VA 23231
