Be a hero! Know how to recognize an opioid overdose. Knowing the signs of a fentanyl overdose can save a life.

Signs include (remember the acronym BLUE):

B- Breathing is very slow, irregular, or has stopped; may hear gurgling or snoring
L - Lips and fingernails turn blue or purple
U- Unresponsive - will not wake or respond to your voice or touch
E - Eye (center) is very small — sometimes called “pinpoint pupils”

If you think someone is overdosing, call 9-1-1 right away.

Give the person naloxone if its available. Naloxone is a medication that can temporarily reverse an overdose if it is administered right away. You can give naloxone while you wait for professional help to arrive. Naloxone is available over-the-counter at pharmacies nationwide.

An overdose is always an emergency.

Naloxone is available over-the-counter at pharmacies nationwide. You can visit local pharmacies without a prescription.
