Naloxone. What Is it?

Naloxone, commonly known by the brand name Narcan, is an emergency medication used to reverse an opioid overdose. In Manitoba, naloxone can be obtained in a variety of ways, including:

  1. Pharmacies: Naloxone kits are available for free at many pharmacies in Manitoba, without a prescription. You can ask your pharmacist for a kit or search for a pharmacy near you that carries naloxone using the Manitoba Naloxone Program website.
  2. Health clinics: Some health clinics and harm reduction sites also distribute naloxone kits for free. Check with your local health clinic or harm reduction site for more information.
  3. Manitoba Harm Reduction Network: The Manitoba Harm Reduction Network provides naloxone training and distribution through their website. You can complete the online training and receive a naloxone kit by mail.
  4. Street Connections: Street Connections is a harm reduction program in Winnipeg that provides free naloxone kits and training to people who use drugs. You can visit their office or contact them for more information.
  5. Outreach programs: Some outreach programs, such as the Bear Clan Patrol in Winnipeg, also distribute naloxone kits and provide training on how to use them.

It's important to note that naloxone should be used as a temporary measure to reverse an opioid overdose, and that emergency medical attention should always be sought in the event of an overdose. If you or someone you know is experiencing an opioid overdose, call 911 immediately.

In conclusion, naloxone can be obtained in Manitoba through a variety of sources, including pharmacies, health clinics, harm reduction sites, and outreach programs.
