Naloxone is a fast-acting opioid antagonist administered through the nostril. When a person is suspected of overdosing on an opioid, such as hydrocodone, morphine, codeine, oxycodone, or heroin, (the illegal, non-prescriptive form of an opioid), Naloxone can reverse induced respiratory depression when administered in a timely manner and substantially reduce the probability of death.</span></div>
