What is NARCAN®?
NARCAN® is a nasal spray version of the drug naloxone. It is an emergency treatment for known or suspected opioid overdoses. The drug is designed to counteract the life-threatening effects of an opioid overdose. NARCAN® and other forms of naloxone are not a substitute for emergency medical care. You should always call 911 for help, even if the person wakes up.
Do I need a prescription for NARCAN® or naloxone?
No you do not. NARCAN® and naloxone are available over-the-counter from agencies like Trillium Health and from many pharmacies.
