GET NALOXONE SPRAY – Quickly | Easily | Anonymously
What is Narcan?
Naloxone spary, often known by the brand-name Narcan, is a life-saving medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdoses. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, blocking the effects of opioids and restoring normal breathing in individuals who have overdosed.
These medications are crucial in emergency situations, providing a critical window of time to seek further medical assistance. By making Narcan kits readily available, we aim to reduce the number of fatal overdoses and support the recovery of those struggling with addiction in Reno.
When & How to Use Narcan Spray
Step 1
Recognize the Signs – Look for symptoms of an opioid overdose, such as unresponsiveness, slow or no breathing, and blue lips or fingertips. If you notice a friend, family member, or person on the street who may be overdosing on opiates, grab your Naloxone kit and prepare to administer the drug.
Step 2
Administer Naloxone Spray – Use the nasal spray to deliver Narcan. Follow the instructions provided with the medication for best results. Some patients may need more than one dose to reverse the effects of opiate overdose.
Step 3
Seek Medical Help – After administering Narcan, call emergency services immediately. Narcan’s effects are temporary, and further medical treatment from an EMT, paramedic, or hospital staff is necessary to ensure the recipient’s well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions about Narcan & Naloxone
Find answers to common questions about Narcan spray, its usage, and local Naloxone availability in the Reno area.
What is Narcan Spray?
Narcan is a brand name for naloxone, a medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. It can quickly restore normal breathing to a person whose breathing has slowed or stopped due to overdosing on heroin, fentanyl, or prescription opioid pain medications.
Naloxone spray is safe, easy to administer, works almost immediately, and is not addictive. Narcan spray is a preventative medication with minimal drawbacks and has no effect if opioids are not in a person’s system.
How does Narcan work?
Narcan works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, blocking the effects of opioid drugs. This can quickly restore normal respiration to a person who has stopped breathing as a result of overdosing on heroin or prescription opioid medications.
Who should use or carry Naloxone?
Narcan spray can be used by anyone who witnesses an opioid overdose. It is designed to be easy to use, even by people without medical training.
-
If you or someone you know is at increased risk for opioid overdose, especially those with opioid use disorder (OUD), you should carry a Naloxone kit in your vehicle and keep it at home.
-
People who are taking high-dose opioid medications prescribed by a doctor, people who use opioids and benzodiazepines together, and people who use drugs, should all carry Naloxone spray. Because you cannot use Naloxone on yourself, let others know you have it in case you experience an opioid overdose.
