There Are No Ill Effects of Giving Narcan

It's important to know that there are no ill effects of giving Narcan to someone who isn't overdosing.

Narcan, also known by its generic name, naloxone, is a medication designed to counteract the life-threatening effects of opioid overdoses. This antidote works by binding to the same receptors in the brain as opioids, effectively reversing their effects and restoring normal respiration. Narcan has saved countless lives, making it an invaluable tool for first responders, healthcare professionals, and the general public.
