Illinois Supply Co. in New Lenox, Illinois has introduced a naloxone vending machine to give away free boxes of Narcan in communities struggling to lower opioid overdose death rates, according to a press release.

The machine does not require electricity and is gravity-fed with no moving parts to ensure low maintenance for county health departments and other organizations that maintain such giveaway programs.

The machine can be wall-mounted, weighs approximately 40 pounds empty and will sell for about $699 compared to traditional vending machines which generally start around $3,500.

The company offers naloxone zipper pouches for as low as $6.99 as well as metal cabinets for public access and giveaway/distribution in locations like hotels, casinos and airports.

Options are available on www.IllinoisSupply.com including options in Spanish and French and a public access cabinet designed for schools called the LiveSafer Cabinet.
