What is Narcan?
We work directly with Jackson Health Department in order to offer free Narcan and guidance on how to use Narcan.
“Naloxone, for example Narcan®, is a medicine that can help people who are overdosing on an opioid. Opioids include prescription medications, heroin, and fentanyl. Sometimes other drugs, including cocaine and methamphetamine, are mixed with fentanyl.
Naloxone can reverse the effects of an overdose from opioids, including:
Heroin
Morphine
Oxycodone (OxyContin®)
Methadone
Fentanyl
Hydrocodone (Vicodin®)
Codeine
Hydromorphone”
