What is NARCAN® Nasal Spray?
NARCAN® Nasal Spray is used to treat someone who has overdosed on opioids. It can be used by anyone to reverse the effects of the overdose until medical help arrives. Giving NARCAN® Nasal Spray to a person because of a non-opioid overdose is unlikely to cause more harm. For a list of serious warnings, precautions and contraindications, refer to the product monograph.
- While NARCAN® Nasal Spray can be administered by a non-health care professional, it is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical care. Always seek emergency medical assistance (call 911), or ask someone to call for you, in the event of a suspected opioid overdose. If you encounter problems on how to administer NARCAN® Nasal Spray or any other problem, the 911 operator will guide you.
- Do not test the NARCAN® Nasal Spray device. Keep NARCAN® Nasal Spray in its packaging until it is needed.
- NARCAN® Nasal Spray is for use in the nose only.
- Each NARCAN® Nasal Spray device contains only 1 dose and cannot be reused.
- You may need to help the person who received NARCAN® Nasal Spray. They may have a reaction (i.e. becoming aggressive, shaking and/or vomiting). Special attention should be given to newborns (less than four weeks old) and pregnant women, as some of these reactions can be life-threatening.
