How to Administer Naloxone
Naloxone For the Public
Although traditionally naloxone was administered only by emergency response personnel, today it can be administered by minimally trained laypeople. Overdose Lifeline is registered to provide naloxone (Narcan™) kits, servicing a limited number of communities through donations and sponsorships.
