POTENTIAL SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF AN OPIOID OVERDOSE include-
Loss of consciousness., Markedly constricted or pinpoint pupils., Breathing difficulties (slowed, labored, and/or irregular breathing), Respiratory arrest (completely stopped breathing). Choking, gurgling, or snoring sounds, Blue or purple lips or fingertips, or Being unresponsive to loud noises, shaking, or painful stimuli.
If you know or suspect that you or someone else is experiencing an overdose, CALL 911.
If you suspect that the person has overdosed on opioids, administering Narcan (naloxone) can often reverse the overdose and save a person’s life. It will have no effect if there aren’t opioids in the person’s system. If the person experiencing a suspected overdose does not respond within 2 to 3 minutes after being given naloxone, a second dose should be given.
Stay with the person until help arrives.
