         Naloxone is a medication approved to reverse overdose by opioids (e.g. heroin, fentanyl, Vicodin, OxyContin, morphine). Naloxone is given when a person is showing signs of an opioid drug overdose.
         
         Signs of an opioid overdose include:
         

         • Victim may be unresponsive or unconscious
         • Slow, shallow, or irregular breathing
         • Victim may have cold, clammy, pale or bluish skin
         • Fingernails or lips turning blue/purple

         
         The box is unlocked and kits are free to take.
         
         Narcan nasal spray kits containing Naloxone are safe to administer even if you’re unsure whether a person is overdosing. The box is monitored and restocked by Housing and Residence Life.
