Naloxone (Narcan) saves lives
Naloxone is a medication that can reverse an opioid overdose. Anyone can carry it, and anyone can use it.
How to get naloxone in Pennsylvania
- Over the counter: some naloxone nasal sprays are sold without a prescription at pharmacies and other stores.
- Pharmacy standing order: Pennsylvania's statewide standing order lets pharmacies dispense prescription naloxone without a prescription from your own doctor.
- Free: free naloxone and test strips are available through the PA Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs' Overdose Prevention Program, including free delivery by mail.
Sources: PA Department of Health – Naloxone; PA DDAP – Overdose Prevention Supplies.
If you suspect an overdose
- Call 911.
- Give naloxone and follow the package directions.
- Support breathing and place the person on their side (recovery position).
- Stay with the person until help arrives. A second dose may be needed.
Pennsylvania's Good Samaritan law (Act 139 of 2014) offers certain legal protections to people who call 911 for an overdose and stay with the person.
