THANKS, LIKE   >> IN THE ONGOING DRUG CRISIS,   LOCAL HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY   NARCAN IS CRITICAL, SIMPLE   TREATMENT FOR SOMEONE WHO'S   HAD AN OVERDOSE. WGN'S RICK   GOGREVE, HIS COMEBACK. FROM   THE SAME TIME THE CORONER'S   OFFICE, RICK. NARCAN IS A   POPULAR PRODUCT THAT COULD   HELP SAVE SOMEONE WHO IS   OVERDOSING ON OPIOIDS HOUSE   THAT USED. WELL, IT'S ACTUALLY   QUITE SIMPLE.   >> IT'S A SMALL PRODUCT, BUT   IT ENOUGH TO STOP THE EFFECTS   AN OPIOID OVERDOSE. THOSE CAN   CAUSE DEATH BY CAUSING   RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION. THIS   ACTUALLY REVERSES IT BIG   BECAUSE BIND TO THE SAME   RECEPTORS AS THE OPIOIDS BUT   COMPETES FOR IT. YOUR BODY   DETOX OF FIGHTS OFF. BUT HOW   IS IT USED? WELL, ALL YOU HAVE   TO DO THE WHITE TIP INTO THE   PERSON'S NOSE AND PRESS THE   RED BUTTON RELEASING THE   SPRAY. THEN YOU TURN THE USER   TO THEIR SIDE UNTIL THEY ARE   WAKE. HOWEVER, IT IS STILL   IMPORTANT TO GET THE USER TO   THE HOSPITAL AS QUICK AS   POSSIBLE. DOESN'T LAST   ACTUALLY AS LONG AS FENTANYL.   SO ONCE THIS WEARS OFF THE   FENTANYL COME BACK AND CAN   CAUSE AN OVERDOSE. STILL,   THAT'S WHY SOME POINT NEED TO   CALL 9-1-1. ACCORDING TO   DOCTOR TAPE, NOR CAN SPRAY   UNITS OFTEN COME IN FOR   MILLIGRAM UNITS. HOWEVER, IT'S   NOT HARMFUL FOR PERSON TO   INHALE MORE THAN ONE. IT IS   RECOMMENDED TO SPRAY DOSES   INTO ALTERNATING NOSTRILS   EVERY 2 TO 3 MINUTES UNTIL   EMERGENCY MEDICAL ASSISTANCE   BECOMES AVAILABLE. NARCAN IS   ALSO COMPLETELY HARMLESS. EVEN   WHEN THE USER IS NOT   OVERDOSING ON OPIOIDS FROM   PARMA HAVE THESE AROUND. IF   YOU HAVE SOME OF THESE   UNCONSCIOUS, IT DOESN'T HURT   TO GIVE THAT NARCAN DARK AND   IS ALSO READILY AVAILABLE,   OFTEN GIVEN OUT FOR FREE AT   POLICE STATIONS. FIRE STATIONS   ARE EVEN HERE AT THE SAINT   TAMMANY PARISH CORONER'S   OFFICE. IF YOU'RE STILL   SOMEHOW UNABLE TO FIND ANY IN   PERSON, YOU CAN EVEN BUY THEM   ONLINE. HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU   REALLY SAVE SOMEBODY SUCH A   SIMPLE THING, SUCH"}]
