U.S. Naloxone Access
1. "Naloxone is a medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose.
It is an opioid antagonist—meaning that it binds to opioid receptors and
can reverse and block the effects of other opioids. It can very quickly
restore normal respiration to a person whose breathing has slowed or
stopped as a result of overdosing with heroin or prescription opioid pain
medications." (National Institute on Drug Abuse)
