More than 115 people in the U.S. die every day after overdosing on opioids. One important tool for helping opioid overdose is naloxone, a drug that helps reverse the effects of an overdose.
A new animated video from MedlinePlus and the National Institute on Drug Abuse explains just how naloxone works in our bodies to counter the effects of opioid overdoses.
The video will be available in Spanish and English, and can be found on the National Library of Medicine’s YouTube channel.
