Administering Naloxone
- Evaluate for signs of an overdose.
- Call 911 for help. If you suspect someone is experiencing an opioid overdose, call 911 immediately.
- Open the naloxone package and follow the enclosed instructions carefully.
- Try to keep the person awake. Lay them on their side to prevent choking.
- Monitor the response. Stay with the person until help arrives.
Why Carry Naloxone?
Even if you don't use opioids, carrying naloxone is important in case of emergencies, especially in environments where others might be using them. Being prepared could save a life.
Additional Information
Naloxone vs. Narcan
NARCANⓇ is a trademarked nasal spray form of naloxone and the most widely known form of the drug; the two terms are often used interchangeably.
Naloxone Training

Naloxone Expiration
Naloxone has an expiration date, which can be found on the packaging. You may still administer expired naloxone if you believe someone is experiencing an overdose. It will not cause harm to the individual.
