CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta walks through how to use the opioid overdose antidote Narcan. The US Food and Drug Administration approved an over-the-counter version of Narcan for the first time to help curb drug overdose deaths.

It’s weird how Americans use opioids so regularly we British don’t use it anywhere near as much.
You will… drug use parallels socioeconomic situations that are raging throughout the USA, and Britain is starting to get a taste of it. The poorer you get, the more likely you will want to cope with drugs
@OrsiTheAwesome that is very true… we have similar situations going on in our countries.. different dope.. comes from different places… this fentanyl is just so easy to make and its so cheap its everywhere man.. one day itll be there too.. once the english drug dealers see how lucrative it is.
Arthur from king of queens loves this
Nice 1
@Ree485 yes wyd
better late than never
looks like a good business opportunity
Forgive my ignorance,am from Kenya but how is it easy to abuse drugs in US? To my understanding, many people use drugs as daily prescriptions. What led to all this dependence on drugs 😢😢?
Define: drugs
Does that include pharmaceuticals? Or are you talking about illicit substances taken recreationally?
Perhaps understanding what words you’re using will help
You get pharmaceuticals by seeing a doctor, they write a prescription that gets filled by a pharmacy and you buy it from them. Illegal drugs are sold by drug dealers, and I’d say if you look hard enough you’ll be able to find anything eventually. Some states have also made marijuana legal, and they have dispensaries that sell it.
I’d keep some in the car…
those test strips are key. so many people are using fentanyl without even knowing it.
How? How do they not know?

“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
“Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Matthew 5:38-39
“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:5-6.
Yep but the question remains is what does Don 🔺️Lemon feel about Uranus as a whole?
It’s more that he can unpack, so he splits it in half 😅
👍👍👍
Thank the pharmaceutical companies for creating and continuing to facilitate this issue and those that are paid by them.
They’re also huge donors to the Democrat party.
be a good citizen…visiting a Dems city?…bring Narcan!
@Upper 90 consider moving to Russia
What about the Adderall epidemic, and how our doctors are essentially prescribing legal meth to pre-pubescent teens.
That’s no comparison to the opioid epidemic.
Thanks for seeking clarification on where prescription drugs tainted with fentenyl are purchased! Gupta’s original statement was very alarming.
🤦🤦🤦🤦
“HALLELUJAH! IT’S A MIRACLE!” – Drugies
i feel it is far more cost effective and compassionate for drug addicts who overdose to just die. we are spending resources on keeping people who are going to continue to do drugs and more than likely die from drug use. meanwhile all the people who have chronic pain have to spend money they don’t have and go to doctors who are not going to do what it takes to lessen pain. after many surgeries and no relief from what doctors do from start to finish, which is get me to come in over and over again and spend tens of thousands of dollars to get no results is wrong. the live are the only people doctors should be helping. why should i and others like me have to be in pain because drug addicts are overdosing? they are dead and don’t feel pain after they overdose. so the thing everyone who is clueless want to bring these people back so they can do it again and again and again.
I just got clean from fentynol and it was the biggest fight of my life. I have never had to be “narcaned”. But I have had to use it to bring someone out of an overdose and to my shock, the person was mad at me for doing it. I later found out that narcan knocks all the opiates out of your system and for an addict, this means instant severe withdrawals. Pray for those who are fighting this deadly poison. Because I know personally the challenge and the odds stacked against surviving this disease
Keep up the good fight!
I’ve been NARCAN trained for years and I’ve been pushing for more training. While a lot of public focus has been on illegal drug use, NARCAN can also save someone after an accidental overdose of legal opioid pain medication. If someone is using illegal drugs, whether they are going through a recovery program or not, it’s good to have NARCAN around (with someone around to supervise the user) to reduce the need to rely on EMTs and Police in the event of an overdose. Many drug users won’t let anyone be with them while they’re using if they think they’ll call the police, so having a supply of NARCAN on hand can save their life and promote a safe recovery plan.
There is nothing accidental about overdose unless you are a minor
I always keep Narcan in my purse. Always. I have known too many people to die from this.
Amen and thank god because too many people are dying and not only in this country but throughout the world 🙏🏽👑
America is great again. By providing solutions to a problem that it previously created herself.
In Canada this is free if you’re on narcotics or opioids! Everyone on opioids is given a kit with several needles several doses of narcan.
