Opioid overdose is a medical emergency. Seek help immediately by calling 911.
NARCAN® for Groups
Free NARCAN® is now available for agencies, businesses and organizations in Wyoming.
NARCAN ® 4 mg nasal spray is now available over-the-counter. A prescription or standing order is no longer required.
NARCAN® is a potentially lifesaving prescription medication designed to help reverse the effects of an opioid overdose in minutes. The active ingredient in NARCAN®, naloxone hydrochloride, can quickly reverse an overdose by blocking the effects of opioids and restore normal breathing within 2 to 3 minutes in a person whose breath has slowed, or even stopped, as a result of opioid overdose. More than one dose of naloxone may be required when stronger opioids like fentanyl are involved.
This NARCAN® program provides free NARCAN® to agencies, businesses and organizations in Wyoming that may be in position to help individuals experiencing an opioid overdose. Approved orders will be shipped directly to you. Wyoming State Statutes §35-4-901 through 906, which became effective on July 1, 2017, expanded access to the opioid overdose antagonist medication Naloxone. This statute and Wyoming State Rules require that an entity prescribed an opiate antagonist is required to establish a drug overdose treatment policy that includes:
1) Designation for individuals to receive training and instructional materials on how to recognize and respond to an opiate related drug overdose.
2) Ensure that a person to whom an opiate antagonist has been administered receives additional medical care and a medical evaluation.
3) Submit a complete Naloxone Report Form to the Wyoming Department of Health electronically within 72 hours of the administration of the opiate antagonist at: Naloxone Administration Survey
