ACT QUICKLY IN AN OVERDOSE EMERGENCY
These steps are for naloxone nasal spray. Follow the instructions for the product you have.
For this nasal spray, lay the person on their back, tilt their head back, place the nozzle in one nostril, and press the plunger. Follow the product instructions. Do not test or prime the spray.
Call 911 immediately after the first dose. Do not wait to see whether it works. Say the person is not breathing normally or won’t wake up. Follow the dispatcher’s instructions.
If they are not breathing normally, follow the dispatcher’s instructions for rescue breathing or CPR.
Use a new nasal device for every dose. Repeat every 2–3 minutes, alternating nostrils, if they do not respond or symptoms return.
Once normal breathing returns, place them on their side in the recovery position. Keep watching their breathing. Symptoms can return as naloxone wears off.
If you suspect an overdose, give naloxone, then call 911 immediately.
Call 911General information; follow the product label and emergency dispatcher’s instructions. Training can help you prepare.
