💊 Naloxone: The Life-Saving Medication Everyone Should Know About

What is Naloxone?
Naloxone (also known as Narcan) is a life-saving medication that rapidly reverses the effects of an opioid overdose. It's safe, easy to use, and can restore normal breathing within minutes – giving someone the precious time they need until emergency help arrives.

🚨 Don't Assume – Opioid Users Aren't Who You Think
Opioids are prescribed every day to treat:
- Chronic pain conditions
- Post-surgical pain
- Cancer pain
- Severe injuries
- Palliative care

This means your neighbour recovering from surgery, a grandparent managing arthritis, someone with a back injury, or a cancer patient could all be using opioids legitimately. Opioid overdose doesn't discriminate – it can happen to anyone, regardless of age, background, or circumstance.

What are Opioids?
Opioids include prescription medications like:
- Morphine
- Oxycodone (Endone, OxyContin)
- Codeine
- Fentanyl
- Tramadol
- Methadone

And illicit drugs like he**in.

💡 Fun Fact: Did you know that he**in was originally trademarked by Bayer (yes, the aspirin company!) in 1898? It was marketed as a safe, non-addictive pain reliever and cough suppressant – even sold over the counter! This shows how our understanding of opioids has evolved, and why education and safety measures like naloxone are so important today.

🚨 Signs & Symptoms of Opioid Overdose:
- Slow, shallow, or no breathing
- Unresponsive or unconscious
- Blue or grey lips and fingernails
- Pinpoint pupils
- Choking or gurgling sounds
- Limp body

🆓 FREE Naloxone in South Australia
Did you know naloxone is available FREE and without a prescription in South Australia? Under the national Take Home Naloxone program, anyone can access this life-saving medication at participating pharmacies, needle and syringe programs, and alcohol and drug treatment centres.

👉 Find out more: [SA Health Naloxone Information](https://www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/wps/wcm/connect/public+content/sa+health+internet/clinical+resources/clinical+programs+and+practice+guidelines/medicines+and+drugs/opioids/naloxone+-+preventing+and+responding+to+adverse+effects+of+opioids)

You could be the real first responder.
Whether it's a family member, friend, colleague, or stranger – having naloxone on hand and knowing how to use it can mean the difference between life and death.

💪 Be prepared. Be confident. Be ready to save a life.
