`

`HOW SHOULD I USE
`NARCAN® NASAL SPRAY?
`Read the Instructions for Use at the end of the Patient Information leaflet for detailed
`information about the right way to use NARCAN® Nasal Spray.
`
`
`
`• Use NARCAN® Nasal Spray exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
`
`• Each NARCAN® Nasal Spray contains only 1 dose of medicine and cannot be reused.
`
`• Lay the person on their back. Support their neck with your hand and allow the head to tilt back before
` giving NARCAN® Nasal Spray.
`
`• NARCAN® Nasal Spray should be given into one nostril.
`
`If additional doses are needed, give NARCAN® Nasal Spray in the other nostril.
`
`DOES NARCAN® NASAL SPRAY
`ONLY WORK IN THE NOSE?
`Yes, NARCAN® Nasal Spray is for intranasal (in the nose/nostril) use only.
`
`BEFORE I USE NARCAN® NASAL SPRAY, DO I NEED TRAINING?
`DO I NEED TO ASSEMBLE NARCAN® OR MEASURE THE MEDICINE?
`There is no special training, measuring or assembly required to use NARCAN® Nasal Spray.
`
`NARCAN® Nasal Spray comes as a ready-to-use device that contains a single, pre-filled, pre-measured
`dose of naloxone.
`
`NARCAN® Nasal Spray should be used in accordance with the Instructions for Use contained in the
`full Prescribing Information. The caregiver should familiarize her/himself with these instructions in
`order to be sure to administer NARCAN® Nasal Spray properly.
`
`CAN I GIVE MYSELF
`NARCAN® NASAL SPRAY?
`No, treatment of suspected opioid overdose must be performed by someone other than the affected
`person. If you have or are prescribed NARCAN® Nasal Spray, it’s important to tell family, roommates,
`caregivers, friends, and others around you where you keep NARCAN® Nasal Spray (at home, on your
`person, in your car, etc.) and how and when to use it. Also, inform them that NARCAN® Nasal Spray
`should always be given in accordance with the Instructions for Use, which are included in the package.
`
`HOW DOES
`NARCAN® NASAL SPRAY WORK?
`NARCAN® Nasal Spray is administered in the nostril and does not require evidence of breathing through
`the nose during administration.
`
`When someone takes an overdose of opioids, the opiates overwhelm certain areas in the brain and
`interrupt a key part of the body’s impulse to breathe. Breathing slows dangerously or stops. Quickly
`rescuing this person is crucial because prolonged, severe breathing problems can lead to brain injury
`or death.

`

`

`HOW DOES
`NARCAN® NASAL SPRAY WORK? (continued)
`Naloxone, the active ingredient in NARCAN® Nasal Spray, competes with opioids to bind with the same
`receptors in the brain. Usually, it reverses the effects of opioid overdose in 2 to 3 minutes. This buys the
`opioid-poisoned person time for emergency medical help to arrive. If necessary, a bystander can give
`an additional dose of NARCAN® Nasal Spray if the patient doesn’t respond, doesn’t respond enough or
`relapses into breathing problems while awaiting additional help.
`
`Get emergency medical help right away in any cases of known or suspected overdose emergency.
`NARCAN® Nasal Spray is not a substitute for emergency medical care. Administer in accordance with the
`Instructions for Use.
`
`HOW LONG DOES
`NARCAN® NASAL SPRAY TAKE TO WORK?
`If the patient does not respond in 2 to 3 minutes or responds and then relapses into respiratory
`depression, additional doses of NARCAN® Nasal Spray may be given every 2 to 3 minutes until
`emergency medical assistance arrives.
`
`
`
`Each device is a single dose. If an additional dose is needed, you must use another device.
`Get emergency medical help right away in any cases of known or suspected overdose emergency.
`NARCAN® Nasal Spray is not a substitute for emergency medical care. Administer in accordance with the
`Instructions for Use.
`
`CAN I REUSE
`NARCAN® NASAL SPRAY?
`No, you cannot reuse NARCAN® Nasal Spray. Each device is single-use, single-dose only. It is intended to
`be sprayed once, in a nostril, and then discarded.
`
`IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE
`ONLY HALF THE CONTENTS?
`No, the device is designed and FDA-approved to provide a single 4 mg dose of naloxone. It is intended to
`be sprayed once, in a nostril, and then discarded.
`
`HOW LONG DOES NARCAN® NASAL SPRAY WORK?
`WILL A SECOND DOSE BE NEEDED?
`NARCAN® Nasal Spray has been shown in studies to stay in the body for about 2 hours.
`
`A second dose of NARCAN® Nasal Spray may be necessary. One dose of naloxone may not be enough to
`reverse the effects of an opioid overdose that involves strong opioids or more. Or, sometimes, the nalox-
`one dose can wear off before the opioids—necessitating another dose.

`

`HOW LONG DOES NARCAN® NASAL SPRAY WORK?
`WILL A SECOND DOSE BE NEEDED? (continued)
`Emergency medical services (EMS) will have been called immediately and will hopefully arrive before a
`second dose is needed. But if help hasn’t arrived, bystanders can administer additional doses of
`NARCAN® Nasal Spray every 2 to 3 minutes in alternating nostrils if the patient doesn’t respond, responds
`insufficiently or relapses back into respiratory depression.
