Overdose-reversal medication
Naloxone, commonly known by the brand name Narcan, can reverse an opioid overdose when used promptly.
No outside prescription to begin
Qualified California pharmacists may furnish naloxone under a statewide protocol.
Education matters
Ask how to recognize a possible overdose, administer naloxone, call emergency services and provide additional doses when needed.
For patients, families and caregivers
People who use opioids, family members, friends and caregivers can all ask about access and preparedness.
