Anyone can carry naloxone

It's free in many places, legal to carry, and easy to use.

Naloxone (Narcan) reverses an opioid overdose within minutes. You do not need a prescription in most places, and many pharmacies, health departments, and vending boxes give it out for free. Keep it where you can reach it quickly. To use the nasal spray: peel the package, tilt the head back, insert the nozzle in one nostril, and press the plunger. Then call 911 and stay with the person.
