Know the Risks, Save a Life.
The Facts on Fentanyl
Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid, up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times more powerful than morphine.
Only 2 milligrams of fentanyl, an amount smaller than a raindrop or a few grains of salt, could kill you.
Fentanyl is hidden in almost every kind of street drug. You can’t see it, taste it or smell it.
Assume any pill you get online or from a friend is fake and possibly deadly. Unless it’s prescribed by a doctor and administered by a pharmacist, don’t trust it.
Many counterfeit pills that look like legitimate prescription drugs may contain fentanyl – even if they’re sold as something else. Fentanyl makes street drugs more dangerous than they’ve ever been.

Naloxone Saves Lives
Naloxone is a nasal spray medication that can reverse an opioid overdose. It can quickly restore normal breathing if someone’s breathing has slowed or stopped because of an opioid overdose.
Naloxone is safe and easy to use. It won’t harm someone who did not overdose from opioids and is small enough to carry in your pocket.

If you carry naloxone, it means you’re prepared to help save a life. Almost 40% of overdose deaths occur with others present. Carrying naloxone means you’re prepared to respond to an overdose by providing immediate aid when every second counts.
