Stop Opioid Overdoses and Help Save Lives with Naloxone

Opioid overdose is an increasing problem in California. Opioid drugs are used to control pain. Taking too much of a prescription painkiller such as Norco, Vicodin, morphine, fentanyl, or street drugs laced with fentanyl or heroin can lead to drug overdose, and death.

Naloxone is a life-saving medication used to reverse a drug overdose from opioids. It can be given via a nasal spray or injection or auto-injector into a major muscle. You can purchase Naloxone in nasal spray form at local pharmacies. To learn more about your risk for overdose, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Learn more about Nalaxone.
