Narcan is called an 'opioid antagonist.' It works by counteracting "life threatening depression of the central nervous system and respiratory system."
It is a prescribed, non-addictive medication that works only if a person has opioids in their system.

Overdose deaths are on the rise. We CAN do som**hing. I have Narcan…. Do you?

Do you know of someone who uses drugs- opioids, m**h, he**in? So much of the drugs on the streets now is laced with fentanyl. Fentanyl is EXTREMELY potent and can kill in an instant. If you know of someone who uses these substances, or in my opinion, even if you don’t, you should have narcan on hand. Narcan is an easy medication to reverse opioid overdose and can be obtained by ANYONE. It saves lives! And all lives are worth saving. Saving a life can mean a chance at recovery. I have Narcan, do you??

You can get Narcan from any pharmacy without a prescription. All you have to do is ask! Message me for more information or with questions.

⭐️Why Carry Narcan, if Not for You?⭐️
Even if you personally have no use for Narcan, don’t you know a few people that may potentially benefit from Narcan? Accidental overdoses from cross-contamination are on the rise! Think of it this way… A lot of people carry gas cans in their car, but that doesn’t mean those people are planning to run out of gas… But having a gas can when you do happen to run out is handy, isn’t it? What about when you see someone else who’s run of gas on the side of the road? You’re able to use your gas can to help them! Think of Narcan the same way! Maybe you won’t need the Narcan, but maybe you’ll see someone out & about in your community who needs it. 💁‍♂️😇

For transparency the numbers on our request form are inflated to help cover other costs associated with Narcan distribution. This also helps cover the cost to ship free Narcan to others. Any contribution made through our request form is considered a donation to Harm Reduction Circle which will be used to cover shipping and other costs associated with Narcan distribution. Contributions are not in exchange for any goods or services.
