The recent naloxone and overdose awareness campaign launched in the UK has stimulated an important conversation amongst many: what is naloxone? https://www.talkingdrugs.org/debunking-myths-naloxone-the-life-saving-antidote-to-opioid-overdose
#1 – Naloxone is not an opioid treatment, neither is it a long-lasting antidote.
#2 – Naloxone does not cost too much to distribute.
#3 – Naloxone can be carried by anyone, not just people who use drugs.
#4 – Naloxone can reverse a fentanyl overdose.
#5 – You may have just saved a life, but not everyone responds to this gratefully.
#6 – It’s important to be there when they come round.
Carry naloxone. It could help save a life. https://www.talkingdrugs.org/national-overdose-awareness-and-naloxone-campaign-launches-in-the-uk
