Naloxone quickly reverses an overdose by blocking the effects of opioids.

More than one dose of naloxone may be required when stronger opioids like fentanyl are involved. 3
Can I use naloxone on myself?
Because you can’t use naloxone on yourself, let others know you have it in case you experience an opioid overdose. Carrying naloxone is no different than carrying an epinephrine auto-injector (commonly known by the brand name EpiPen) for someone with allergies.
How do you dilute naloxone for infusion?
-May be diluted for IV infusion by adding 2 mg of naloxone to 500 mL of either normal saline or 5% glucose; resulting in a 0.004 mg/mL solution. -If necessary naloxone may be diluted in sterile water for injection.
What should I do if my naloxone changes color?
Store naloxone at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the auto-injector in its outer case until you are ready to use it. Do not use the medicine if it has changed colors or has particles in it. Call your pharmacist for new medication.
