An opioid overdose causes a person’s breathing to slow to dangerous levels to the point that they can’t breathe properly. This can cause brain damage and, in some cases, death.
Naloxone temporarily reverses the effects of opioid overdose, allowing the person to breathe again while help is on its way.
