About this service
Naloxone (Narcan) is a safe and fast-acting medication used to block the effects of opioids, especially when experiencing an overdose. It can be taken Intramuscularly (injected into a muscle) or sprayed into the nose. It takes approximately 2 5 minutes to work. The effects of naloxone last between hour- 1 hour. Multiple doses of naloxone may be needed as the duration of action of most opioids is greater than that of naloxone.
If You Suspect an Overdose:
CALL 911 or your local Emergency Medical Services: say someone is unresponsive and not breathing and stay on the line.
Signs of Overdose:
UNCONSCIOUS: Wont wake up or respond
BREATHING: Slow or shallow (less than 1 breath every 5 seconds). Gasping while sleeping or weird snoring.
