Naloxone (also known by its brand name, NARCAN®) is an opioid antagonist that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. It is usually available as a nasal or injectable medication and works by outcompeting opioids and binding on to the opioid receptor, alleviating the sedating effects of the opioid. When given during an overdose, NARCAN could restore breathing within 2-8 minutes.
