91̽»¨ Take Home Naloxone Program

Posting Date(s)

The 91̽»¨ has teamed up with the Chief Public Health Office (CPHO) of PEI to provide 91̽»¨ students and any member of the University community at risk of experiencing or witnessing a drug-related overdose with free Naloxone kits through the provincial . 

Naloxone (also called Narcan) is a fast-acting medication used to temporarily reverse an opioid overdose until medical help arrives. Naloxone can restore breathing within 2 to 5 minutes and is safe for all ages. It only works for those who have opioids in their system. It does not create dependence, and it is safe to keep a Naloxone kit on hand.

 

Naloxone training is available online at .
