Naloxone: Naloxone is a medicine that temporarily stops the effect of opioids. This helps a person start to breathe again and wake up from an opioid overdose. Naloxone (the generic name) is also sold under the brand names Narcan®. You should always contact 9-1-1 if you suspect someone is overdosing.
Fentanyl Test Strips: Test strips can tell you if your drugs contain fentanyl but not how much fentanyl there is or how strong it is.
