It has been proven if Narcan is administered within the first few minutes of an opioid overdose a life can be saved. Narcan does not have adverse affects and is not addictive, it is simply a life-saving drug when given properly.
Narcan, also referred to as naloxone, has been in use in the U.S. since the early 1970s. It may be administered to an unconscious patient either through injection or by spraying the drug into the patient’s nose. When properly administered it can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose in minutes.
Opioids include prescription painkillers such as hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine, codeine and fentanyl as well as illegal drugs such as heroin. The abuse of these drugs has become a growing national epidemic, taking the lives of thousands of people each year.
