Naloxone, What you need to know:
Naloxone is a medication that can quickly reverse the effects of an overdose from opioids (such as heroin, morphine, fentanyl, carfentanil, and codeine) and can give time to get to a hospital for more help!
If you or someone you know uses opioids, or if you are likely to witness an overdose, you are able to pick-up a FREE naloxone kit from most pharmacies and health centres.
