Naloxone Saves Lives.

Naloxone, also known by the brand name Narcan, is a medication that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose. Naloxone is safe and effective to use in any situation where there is a suspected opioid overdose.

Mail order naloxone services are now available through the Hepatitis and Harm Reduction Program!

Orders are currently limited to one box of naloxone at a time. If you need more than one box (two doses) of naloxone, you can find it for free, without a prescription, in-person at all NM Department of Health Public Health Offices or community providers. It’s also available for purchase at Walgreens, Walmart, and CVS.

Option 2: Get Naloxone In Person

Naloxone may take longer to work on fentanyl, or a second dose might need to be administered because it is a more potent opioid.

Naloxone works because it is an opioid antagonist, meaning it binds to opioid receptors in the brain in place of the opioid.
