Intranasal Naloxone

WHAT IS 

NARCAN® NASAL SPRAY

NARCAN® (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray is the first and only FDA-approved nasal form of naloxone for the emergency treatment of a known or suspected opioid overdose.

NARCAN® Nasal Spray counteracts the life-threatening effects of opioid overdose. Since most accidental overdoses occur in a home setting, it was developed for first responders, as well as family, friends, and caregivers.

Administer in accordance with the Instructions for Use. Repeated doses may be necessary. NARCAN® Nasal Spray is not a substitute for emergency medical care. Always get help immediately, even if the person wakes up because they may relapse into respiratory depression. The use of NARCAN® may result in symptoms of acute opioid withdrawal.

Intranasal Naloxone is available for FREE from the Boone County Health Department (while supplies last).  A short training is required.  

No appointment needed.  

Training is available on an individual or group basis.  For more information or to schedule a group training, please call 765-482-3942 option 5 or 9.
