Free Naloxone (Narcan) by Mail

1. Check. Say their name loudly and rub the middle of their chest hard. Watch for slow or no breathing, blue or gray lips, or no response.

2. Give naloxone. Open the package. Place the nozzle in one nostril and press the plunger firmly.

3. Wait 2–3 minutes. If they don't wake up or breathe normally, give a second dose in the other nostril with a new device.

4. Help them breathe. Roll them onto their side. Give rescue breaths or CPR if you know how.

5. Stay with them until help arrives. Naloxone can wear off before the overdose does.

Your loved one may wake up, and that moment will feel like everything. But please stay close.

Naloxone can wear off before the opioids do. Your loved one can stop breathing again, even after waking up.
Don't be afraid to give more. Naloxone won't harm someone who didn't take opioids. The directions say to keep giving doses as needed until help arrives.
If they don't wake up, or they go back out, give another dose in the other nostril with a new device. Repeat every 2–3 minutes until help arrives.
Keep watching their breathing.
Stay with them, even after they wake up. Let the paramedics take over.
Keep at least two doses at home. When you request naloxone from us, we'll send at least two doses.

You can't stop their addiction, but you can stop their overdose.
