Life-saving actions
What to do when someone overdoses on Fentanyl
Action 1
Call 9-1-1 Immediately
Dial emergency services and stay on the line. An operator will talk to you and support you until medical help arrives.
Action 2
Use NALOXONE, Narcan nasal spray
Insert the device into one nostril, click the plunger, and repeat every two minutes. You may need to do this a number of times. Watch video on how to administer Narcan.
Action 3
Start rescue breathing
Tilt the person’s head back, pinch their nose, put your mouth on theirs to form a seal, and breathe. Watch a quick video for more on this.
Action 4
Stay with them until help arrives
Stay near until professional help arrives. Thanks to a Good Samaritan law, you won’t be punished for trying to stop an overdose.
