Knowing the signs of an opioid overdose can help save a life.
If someone won’t wake up, is breathing slowly or not at all, has pinpoint pupils, or is making choking, gurgling, or unusual snoring sounds, they may be experiencing an overdose.
If you suspect an opioid overdose:
📞 Call 911 immediately
💊 Give naloxone (Narcan®) if available
⏱️ Give another dose after 2–3 minutes if the person does not respond
❤️ Stay with them until emergency help arrives
Naloxone can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose. You don’t have to be a medical professional to carry it or use it.
Recognize the signs. Carry naloxone. Be prepared to respond.
