Un spray nasal fácil de usar y seguro que puede restablecer la respiración durante una sobredosis de opioides

¿Qué es la naloxona?

Es un spray nasal seguro que puede ayudar a restablecer la respiración durante una sobredosis de opioides. Los opioides como el fentanilo pueden reducir la respiración y el ritmo cardíaco hasta niveles peligrosos. La naloxona actúa bloqueando los receptores de opioides en el cerebro, neutralizando los efectos de la sobredosis. Administrarla a tiempo puede restablecer de inmediato la respiración y el flujo de oxígeno.
