{"title":"Narcan","description":"\u003ch1\u003eNarcan (Naloxone) Nasal Spray\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNarcan\u003c\/strong\u003e is a naloxone nasal spray used to rapidly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. In an emergency—slowed or stopped breathing, unresponsiveness, blue-tinged lips or fingertips after opioid use—a single spray delivered into one nostril can begin restoring normal breathing within minutes. It works on prescription painkillers, heroin, and fentanyl, and it does nothing harmful if given to someone who turns out not to have opioids in their system, which is why it's safe to use whenever an overdose is suspected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause seconds matter, Narcan is designed for anyone to use without medical training. There's no needle, no assembly, and no measuring—you peel open the package, hold the sprayer, and press the plunger. Always call 911 first, give a dose, and stay with the person; naloxone can wear off before the opioids do, so a second dose may be needed and emergency responders should evaluate anyone who has overdosed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Keeps Naloxone On Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNarcan belongs anywhere an opioid overdose could happen. Families of someone taking prescription opioids or living with substance use disorder, schools and workplaces building overdose-response kits, shelters, libraries, harm-reduction programs, and first-response teams all stock it as a precaution. Many people carry a two-pack so a backup dose is immediately available while help arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNaloxone is available over the counter, so no prescription is required to purchase it. Store it at room temperature, keep it out of extreme heat or cold, and check the expiration date periodically so your supply is ready when it's needed. Keeping it somewhere accessible—not locked away—is part of using it effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor related supplies, explore our broader \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/honestmed.com\/collections\/first-aid\"\u003eFirst Aid\u003c\/a\u003e selection and Emergency Preparedness essentials to round out a complete response kit.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/honestmed.com\/collections\/narcan.oembed","provider":"Honest Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
