Naloxone (also known as Narcan) is a medication
that can reverse an overdose caused by an opioid
drug (heroin or prescription pain medications). When
administered during an overdose, naloxone blocks
the effects of opioids on the brain and quickly
restores breathing. Naloxone has been used safely
by emergency medical professionals for more than
40 years and has only this one critical function: to
reverse the effects of opioids in order to
prevent overdose death. Naloxone has no
potential for abuse.
