Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. It works by quickly restoring normal breathing in someone whose breathing has slowed or stopped due to opioid use.
Accidental overdoses can happen to anyone taking opioids, whether prescribed for pain or used recreationally. Having naloxone on hand can make a critical difference, potentially saving a life in those crucial moments before emergency services arrive.
