What is Naloxone?
What is Naloxone?
Naloxone (name brand Narcan) is a life-saving medication that reverses the effects of opioid overdose, including heroin, fentanyl and prescription opioid medications when used in a timely fashion.
How do I use Naloxone?
How do I use Naloxone?
If you suspect someone is experiencing an overdose, call 911 and grab the Naloxone kit. Naloxone is a nasal spray medication, administered into the nose. All certified first-aiders at DGSD are trained in administering Naloxone, but in an emergency, it is very simple to administer. Watch the video below to learn how to administer Naloxone.
Naloxone will not harm someone who is perhaps experiencing an overdose from a drug that is not an opioid (such as alcohol) so it is always better to administer it than not if overdose is suspected.
