You Can Save a Life with Just One Pump of Mist from Narcan/Naloxone!
Narcan/Naloxone is a medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. It is an opioid antagonist—meaning that it binds to opioid receptors and can reverse and block the effects of other opioids, such as such as heroin, morphine, and oxycodone. Administered when a patient is showing signs of opioid overdose, Naloxone is a temporary treatment and its effects do not last long. Therefore, it is critical to obtain medical intervention as soon as possible after administering/receiving Naloxone.
Narcan Training Video
Emergency medical service units average 9.9 minutes from the time of a 911 call to arrival on the scene. During an opioid emergency, it can only take 4 minutes for brain damage to occur after someone stops breathing, and death can result in another 4-6 minutes. NARCAN® Nasal Spray can reverse the effects of an opioid emergency by restoring breathing while waiting for emergency personnel to arrive.
