What Is Narcan®?

Overdose Can Happen Anywhere. Response Matters.

A life saved is a chance for recovery.

An opioid overdose is a medical emergency. It can happen to anyone using opioids, including prescription pain medications, heroin, or illicit fentanyl. When an overdose happens, minutes matter. Narcan® does not replace emergency medical care, but it can help keep someone alive long enough for help to arrive.

Call 911 immediately if you notice signs of an opioid overdose:

  • Face is pale, bluish, or clammy.

  • Body is limp.

  • Person cannot be awakened or does not respond.

  • Lips or fingernails are turning blue.

  • Breathing is slow, shallow, or stopped.

  • Gurgling, choking, or snoring sounds.
