What Is Narcan (Naloxone)?
Narcan is the brand name for naloxone, a medication that rapidly reverses the effects of opioid overdose — including overdoses caused by heroin, fentanyl, prescription painkillers, and other opioids. It works by blocking opioid receptors in the brain and restoring normal breathing within 2–5 minutes.
Naloxone has been used by emergency responders for decades. It is now available as a nasal spray (Narcan) that anyone can administer. It has no effect on people who haven’t taken opioids — meaning it is completely safe to use if you’re unsure whether opioids are involved.

- Lay the person on their back and tilt their head back slightly to open the airway.
- Spray Narcan: Insert the nozzle into one nostril and press the plunger firmly.
- Perform rescue breathing if trained — one breath every 5 seconds.

- Place in recovery position (on their side) once breathing resumes.
- Stay until help arrives. Narcan wears off in 30–90 minutes — opioids may still be in their system.
