Naloxone was developed to be used at home without the need for any medical training.

If you suspect an opioid overdose, administer Naloxone and get emergency medical assistance right away.

Step 1: Call 9-1-1

You or another responder in the area should immediately call 9-1-1.

Ask the person if he or she is okay and shout their name. Shake the person’s shoulders and firmly rub the middle of their chest. If the person is not responding, lay them on their back.

Step 2: Administer Naloxone

Remove the Naloxone and peel back the tab with the circle to open the Naloxone.

Hold the Naloxone with your thumb on the bottom of the plunger and your first and middle fingers on either side of the nozzle.

Tilt the person’s head back and provide support under the neck with your hand.

Insert the tip of the nozzle into one nostril, until your fingers press against the person’s nose.

Push the plunger firmly.

Remove the spray after giving the dose.

Turn the person on their side into the rescue position after administering Naloxone.

Step 3: Monitor and Support

Stay with the person until help arrives.

Watch the person closely. If they do not respond to voice or touch within two to three minutes, another dose of Naloxone may be given.

Repeat step two, this time inserting the spray into the other nostril. If the person is still unresponsive, Naloxone may be dosed every two to three minutes.

Comfort the person after a Naloxone dose, as they may feel a withdrawal.

After help has arrived, report your Naloxone use. You can also find the reporting tool on the home screen of the app.
