What is Narcan? The lifesaving treatment that can reverse opioid overdose symptoms
Fox News
Houston authorities say that a chaotic concert stampede that left 8 people dead included a suspected unwanted opioid injection that caused several people to be injected with the drug Narcan to reverse the symptoms of a drug overdose.
Narcan, also known as Naloxone, is one of few drugs available to first responders and the public that has the ability to reverse symptoms of an overdose and potentially save lives, according to Family First Intervention.
Narcan is an opioid antagonist, which means it blocks opioid receptors in the brain and reverses the symptoms that come along with opioids like heroin and fentanyl.
