What you can do?

Don’t take or buy pills from friends or strangers.

Any time you get pills off the street, online or from a friend, they pass through the hands of dozens of people you don’t know. As a result, you can’t trust those pills before you take them. Only take pills that are prescribed to you by a doctor and come from your pharmacy.

Get naloxone. Save lives.

In nearly 40% of overdose deaths, someone else was present. That’s why having lifesaving naloxone is so important. It can reverse an overdose and give you time to call 911 for additional medical support. It’s available as a nasal spray at most local pharmacies. You don’t need a prescription. Just ask your pharmacist. Learn more about how you can get it — and how to use it today.
