Reversing a fentanyl overdose with naloxone

In a recent segment on 60 Minutes, medical examiner Dr. Steven Campman discussed the use of naloxone to reverse fentanyl overdoses. He mentioned that more than two doses of naloxone may be needed to save someone’s life in the case of a fentanyl overdose. Naloxone is a life-saving drug that can reverse the effects of opioid overdoses, including those caused by fentanyl. It is important to be aware of the signs of an overdose and to have naloxone readily available in case of emergency.
