Naloxone administration is child's play

3 September 2012

Naloxone (also sometimes called narcan) is the life saving medication that reverses opiate overdoses. In the UK this drug is prescription only when it comes to supply, but it can be legally administered by anyone (in the same way insulin can be to diabetics).

This short film of simulated overdose and naloxone administration is to show how simple it can be to save a life. No one needs to die of an overdose.
