Because of the limited number of patients who have been treated, optimal dosage and treatment regimens have not been established.

so they are giving a celebrity an untested treatment, for a non-approved use? I don't doubt it, but clearly, doctors were desperate.

I assumed that she was given the Narcan by first responders under the assumption that her condition was drug related, only to discover she she suffered from septic shock.

Using naloxone to boost blood pressure in a septic shock situation is just as desperate and very nearly as time critical a use as intervention in an overdose. It's basically a last resort. It was just as desperate as it sounds.
