Naloxone

  • What Naloxone does?


Naloxone is a drug that can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose. Opioids are drugs that can be used to treat pain, and some people use opioids to get high. Some commonly used opioids include:  hydromorphone, fentanyl or carfentanil, morphine, heroin, methadone, oxycodone. When someone overdoses on opioids, their breathing either slows or stops completely. If used right away, naloxone can help them breathe normally and regain consciousness. Naloxone can either be injected or given as a nasal spray.


  • Who can get a free naloxone kit?


You are eligible for a free naloxone kit if you are: 

  • at risk of an opioid overdose
  • a family member, friend or other person able to help someone at risk of an opioid overdose
  • a client of a Needle Exchange/Syringe Program, Hepatitis C Program or Consumption and Treatment Service 
  • newly released from a correctional facility


  • Where to get a free naloxone kit? 


We offer free Naloxone nasal spray kits. You do not need a prescription or an Ontario Health Card to get a naloxone kit. The pharmacist will train you on how to recognize an opioid overdose and explain how to use the naloxone kit.
