Applying the own-price elasticity of demand for naloxone (-0.27) to the observed out-of-pocket price increases associated with OTC product conversions in Maryland (2 percent to 233 percent), (24) and the estimated demand increases for nicotine patches and gum (78 percent and 180 percent, respectively), (16) we predict an increase in naloxone sales of 15 percent to 77 percent using the estimated demand increase for nicotine patches, and 117 to 179 percent using the estimate for nicotine gum (Table 3, Figure 1).
