    More Information About Naloxone

    Overview

    Naloxone is a medicine that reverses an opioid overdose. An opioid overdose happens when someone takes more opioids than their body can handle. This causes their breathing to slow until it stops. Naloxone helps someone start breathing again by blocking the effects of opioids.
