Never heard of Narcan being used for anything besides drug OD. It was designed specifically to block the MU receptors in the brain, to which opioids attach.

According to even the NIH - Narcan only has one use.

I’ll defer to real doctors here, but this sounds like pure Bullsh** to me.

Could it possibly be used for an Adrenochrome underdose?

Do they auto-administer as protocol when a person is unresponsive? They did that to my step-dad when he passed out.

https://www.rxlist.com/narcan-drug.htm:

Narcan (naloxone) is an opioid antagonist used for the complete or partial reversal of opioid overdose, including respiratory depression. Narcan is also used for diagnosis of suspected or known acute opioid overdose and also for blood pressure support in septic shock.

https://www.drugs.com/pro/naloxone.html

Naloxone has been shown in some cases of septic shock to produce a rise in blood pressure that may last up to several hours; however, this pressor response has not been demonstrated to improve patient survival. In some studies, treatment with Naloxone in the setting of septic shock has been associated with adverse effects, including agitation, nausea and vomiting, pulmonary edema, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, and seizures. The decision to use Naloxone in septic shock should be exercised with caution, particularly in patients who may have underlying pain or have previously received opioid therapy and may have developed opioid tolerance. Because of the limited number of patients who have been treated, optimal dosage and treatment regimens have not been established.
