Is Fentanyl Overdose Reversible?

Yes, fentanyl overdose is reversible with a drug called naloxone and fast medical attention. BUT, only within 15 minutes. You need to act fast!

Naloxone is a medication that reverses the effects of opioids and is used to restore normal breathing after an overdose. It can be used as a nasal spray or an injection. Check out our naloxone module  for more information!
