Getting naloxone is the easy part. Most people can pick it up at a pharmacy without a prescription, and some get it for free through a local program (our naloxone finder can point you to one). The part nobody talks about is actually having it with you when it matters.
We hear from a lot of people who have naloxone at home, in a cabinet, a drawer, a bag, that never leaves the house. They got it because they wanted to be prepared. They are, technically, just not anywhere it could help.
Nove's nasal spray case makes it easy to bring naloxone wherever you go: clipped to a keychain, hooked onto a bag, attached to whatever you're already carrying out the door.
Nobody Notices Nove, and That's the Point
A 2024 study in JAMA Network Open found that only about 10% of U.S. adults currently carry naloxone — even though it's more available now than ever. Carrying something new every day is hard, especially when that something still carries stigma.
A lot of our customers tell us they like that the Nove case doesn't look medical. It reads more like an earbud case than anything else. Nobody stops them to ask about it, so carrying it becomes just another part of the day.
Having It Close Makes You Feel Ready
People often describe a nagging feeling that they should be prepared but aren't. Once carrying naloxone becomes routine, that feeling tends to fade.
Tara goes to concerts and casinos often, and having naloxone clipped to her bag means she doesn't have to think about whether she remembered it. It's just there, the way her phone or her keys are there.
It Goes Everywhere You Go
Brett carries his to music festivals. Karl keeps his clipped to his belt loop. Neither of them overhauled their routine to make it work. The case just attached to what they were already bringing.
That's the whole idea behind Nove: not to add something new to your day, but to fit into what's already there.
One Person Carrying Becomes Ten
Nobody sets out to be the person in their friend group who talks about carrying naloxone. But once you're carrying, it's an easy thing to bring up - and an easy thing to hand someone else.
James bought a handful of Nove cases and gave them to friends, so a few more people in his circle carry naloxone too.
What It Looks Like in Practice
The Nove case holds a single-use nasal spray, clips onto a keychain or bag strap with a steel carabiner, and is small enough that most people forget it's there until they need it.
If you've got naloxone sitting at home, it might be worth trying. Order one for yourself, or a few for your car, your bag, or someone else who's been meaning to start carrying.
