Naloxone sold under the brand name "Narcon" is a pure Opioid antagonist that works by reversing the depression of the central nervous system & respiratory system caused by opiate overdose. When injected into the muscle it works in as little as five minutes and will last for for thirty minutes to one hour. Narcon was approved by the FDA in 1971 for use in heroin and opiate overdose.The Heroin crisis is the most pressing public health & safety issue facing our nation today. While we work hard to support opiate prevention, treatment & recovery we must also do everything we can to save lives when opiate overdose takes place. Please join me in effort to saving lives by signing this petition making narcon available over the counter to anyone in the US so that anyone anytime can save a life
