The Medical Association of Georgia Foundation and the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) have teamed up to create the ‘Save lives, co-prescribe naloxone’ campaign to encourage physicians in the state to co-prescribe naloxone when it’s clinically appropriate.
– Naloxone or “Narcan” is an FDA-approved “opioid antagonist” that counters the effects of opioid (e.g., morphine or heroin) overdose.
– Naloxone can be injected into the muscle or vein or under the skin or sprayed into one’s nose.
– Naloxone is a non-scheduled (i.e., non-addictive) prescription medication.
– Naloxone only works (or has any effects) if the person who has overdosed has opioids in their system.
– Naloxone can be administered by laypeople who become familiar with the relatively simple process (click on the DPH ‘How to Administer Naloxone’ web link under the ‘Resources’ header below).
