Naloxone

Narcan (Naloxone) – a nasal spray medication that helps reverse the effects of an overdose. Opioid overdoses, particularly involving synthetic opioids like fentanyl, are a growing concern among young people. As these drugs become more prevalent, the risk of overdose increases, making it crucial to educate our children on how to recognize the signs. Understanding the symptoms of an opioid overdose, such as unconsciousness, slow or shallow breathing, skin discoloration, or small, constricted pupils, can make a life-saving difference. By teaching others how to spot these warning signs and respond quickly, we can help prevent tragedy and protect the lives of those we care about most.
