Fentanyl has become a more prevalent drug in today’s society. At the local skate park, there have been numerous accidents involving said drug. The City has put in place Narcan Nasal Spray to help anyone needing to use these in an emergency. So far 25 sprays have been used. (See Narcan Maintenance Log) Narcan is a medicine brand of Naloxone. Naloxone rapidly reverses the effects of overdose of Fentanyl. This type of overdose is just called opioid overdose. Naloxone works by attaching itself to opioid receptors and blocking any other opioids. Opioids include codeine, morphine, fentanyl, and heroin. Although fentanyl is a danger to literally anyone, anyone can also spread awareness.
