How to Fill Out and Use Naloxone:

2. Before using naloxone, make sure you have been properly trained in its administration. Many communities offer naloxone training programs, and it's important to attend one to learn the correct technique.

1. Remove the naloxone device from its packaging and hold it with your thumb on the bottom of the plunger and your first and middle fingers on either side of the nozzle.

5. Select an injection site on the outer thigh (upper leg) and clean the area with an alcohol swab.
6. Hold the syringe with your dominant hand like a pencil, and with a quick motion, plunge the needle into the thigh at a 90-degree angle until the syringe is empty.
7. After administering naloxone, call emergency services immediately and remain by the person's side until help arrives.
