The death of a Connecticut seventh grader from an apparent fentanyl overdose has renewed calls for schools to carry the opioid antidote naloxone. The 13-year-old student in Hartford died Saturday after falling ill in school two days earlier. The school did not have naloxone, which is known by the brand name Narcan. But now city officials are vowing to put it in all schools. Fatal overdoses among young people in the U.S. have been increasing amid the opioid epidemic but remain relatively uncommon.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Naloxone is used to reverse an opioid overdose. Health and drug experts say if you have opioids, you should also have Naloxone.

The intranasal spray, Narcan, is available at many pharmacies and many programs offer free supplies.

You can get Naloxone mailed to you for free through OK I’m Ready, an Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services program.
