Naloxone

Background Information

Naloxone is an easy-to-use, lifesaving medication that can reverse the effects of overdose from heroin or other opioids, including morphine, methadone, codeine, and other drugs derived from the poppy plant.

​

Naloxone rapidly reverses the effects of opioid overdose and is the standard treatment for overdose. 

​

Sold under the brandname Narcan among others, Naloxone is a medication used to block the effects of opioids, especially in overdose. Naloxone may be combined with an opioid to decrease the risk of misuse.
