Naloxone is an opioid overdose reversal drug that has been licenced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is an opioid antagonist, which means it attaches to opioid receptors and can counteract and prevent the effects of opioids such as heroin, morphine, and oxycodone. Intranasal spray (into the nose), intramuscular (into the muscle), subcutaneous (under the skin), and intravenous injection are all options for administering the medicine. Naloxone is widely available over the counter at pharmacies in the U.S. as it is not prescribed medicine. Naloxone can also be obtained for free from community-based distribution initiatives, local public health groups, or local health departments.
