Narcan/Nalaxone.

Morphine Sulfate (MS) is an opioid narcotic agent; Narcan is an narcotic antagonist; it binds to the opioid receptor sites. It works on Morphine/MS-Contin, Fentanyl/Duragesic, Heroin, Tramadol, Codeine, Hydrocodone/Vicodin, Oxycodone/Percocet and several others.

This is not a cure, it will reverse the symptoms of an OD [unconsciousness, unresponsiveness, bradypnea (very slow breathing)] and is also used in unwitnessed cardiac arrests (especially the young and elderly).

Narcan cannot hurt you and has no pain relief properties or euphoric effects and typically only lasts 70-90 minutes before the OD symptoms return.
