THE FIGHTER'S CODE
01KNOW IT.Recognize the signs.
02CARRY IT.Keep naloxone close.
03USE IT.Act fast. Call 911.
RECOGNIZE AN OVERDOSE
Know what you're looking for.
When breathing slows or stops, every minute matters. If several of these signs are present, give naloxone and call 911.
Breathing is slow, irregular, gasping, or stopped
Pinpoint pupils
Blue, gray, or pale lips and fingernails
Choking, gurgling, or snoring sounds
Body is limp; skin may feel cold or clammy
ACT WITH CONFIDENCE
Five steps can save a life.
Naloxone rapidly reverses an opioid overdose. It may take more than one dose when fentanyl is involved.
Check for a response
Shout their name. Rub your knuckles firmly on the center of their chest. Look for slow, irregular, or stopped breathing.
Give naloxone
Lay them on their back. Insert the nozzle into one nostril and press the plunger firmly. One device gives one dose.
Call 911
Say: “Someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally.” Give the exact location and follow the dispatcher’s instructions.
Support breathing
If trained, begin rescue breathing or CPR. If they are breathing, place them on their side to help prevent choking.
Repeat and stay
If there is no response after 2–3 minutes, give another dose with a new device. Stay until help arrives.
Naloxone is temporary. A person can become unresponsive again, so emergency medical care is still essential.
COUNTERFEIT PILLS
You cannot tell what's inside by looking.
Fake pills can look like legitimate prescriptions but may contain illicit fentanyl. Only take medication prescribed to you and dispensed by a licensed pharmacy.
Learn about fake pills from the DEA →Never trustA pill bought online, on social media, or from a friend.
Never guessCounterfeit pills can match the color, shape, and markings of real medication.
