Fentanyl is truly a scourge.
One problem users have is that the dosage varies wildly..
They may take a common form like the little green pills
that are marked OC on one side and 80 on the other and
expect the same dose each time... but the dose sometimes
is much larger.
Partly this is because fentanyl in pure form is very
concentrated and hard for amateur componders to measure
out. Carfentanyl is even more concentrated.
If you stock a good first-aid kit for car or home then
the drug naloxone (NARCAN) is good to add to it. It
is an opioid antagonist...it can rapidly restore adequate
respiration.... it comes in injection and nasal spray form.
You can administer it every few minutes until respiration
has been restored... it is not a dangerous drug, it is
not a scheduled substance...
Opioid overdose causes you to stop breathing... naloxone
fixes that.
You can get NARCAN nasal spray without a prescription
by asking your pharmacist, in some areas NARCAN is
available for free.
You can also get the injection form... the patient might
not be able to use the inhaler....
If you live in a home with an opioid addict then learn CPR,
get naloxone, both inhaler and injections and if possible
have a small cylinder of O2 at hand.
No. You are talking about Oxycontin 80mg pills. That is NOT fentanly and are not even produced any longer.
