Go 4 It: Why administering Narcan is always worth trying

The administration of Narcan has become widely accepted for reversing opioid overdoses, though it was once controversial. Despite its effectiveness, Narcan has limitations, particularly with synthetic opioids like fentanyl, which may be harder to reverse. Narcan can induce withdrawal symptoms in individuals with significant opioid dependence. In overdose situations, administering Narcan is advised while also calling 911 for emergency assistance.
