Naloxone/Narcan

Naloxone is a lifesaving, first-aid medication used to reverse an opioid overdose. It works by kicking the opioids off their receptors and blocking the effects of opioids in the body. Naloxone is a do no harm drug meaning it won’t have any impact on someone who does not have opioids in their system, because of this we encourage everyone to keep it with them at all times.
