(WJPF) – More no-cost Narcan dispensers are being installed around southern Illinois.
Narcan is the brand name of the nasal spray naloxone. When administered correctly, it can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.
In the past week, the Egyptian Health Department has installed dispensers in the Hamilton County Courthouse, at the Marathon gas station in Metropolis, and the lobby of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. In July, the health department installed a dispenser in the Saline County State’s Attorney Office and Detention Center.
The medication is available for free with no questions asked.
