Arizona residents will soon have more access to the opiate overdose reversal drug known as Naloxone.

CVS Pharmacy is expected to announce the medication will be now available without a prescription in all 195 of its stores in the state.

CVS joins Walgreens, which made a similar move in its Arizona stores back in January.

State legislation last year made distributing Naloxone without a prescription legal but requires pharmacists to be trained on when and how the drug should be used.
