Naloxone, sold under the brand name Narcan among others, is a medication used to block the effects of opioids. It is commonly used to counter decreased breathing in opioid overdose. Naloxone may also be combined with an opioid (in the same pill), to decrease the risk of opioid misuse. Effects begin within two minutes when given intravenously, and within five minutes when injected into a muscle. Another route it can be given is by spraying it into a person's nose. The effects of naloxone last from about 30 seconds to 24 hours. Multiple doses may be required, as the duration of action of most opioids is greater than that of naloxone.
