HOW TO USE NARCAN

Narcan : the brand name for a drug called Naloxone that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose. Opioids like heroin, fentanyl, and other synthetics, bind to opioid receptors to relax you by calming the nervous system. In high doses, opioids can slow breathing to the point of oxygen deprivation which can result in brain damage or death. Naloxone comes in 2 common forms; nasal spray and intramuscular (IM) injection. Both are equally effective, the only differences being the dose and the way they are administered.
